Day after day, no one really has noticed me as a chess player, people think i overestimate myself, people think i act stupid, they think my chess abilities are stupid. But i showed them. I worked hard for these past 3 years 9 months of my life in highschool. I surpassed my original goal of becoming a 1500 regular player in chess. I understand positions better. I don't use concrete calculation to determine positions anymore.What makes me better? The irritation when someone doesnt acknowledge how you want them to, it makes you better, it drives me further. It is called passion and desire. My goals and destination is not really known or can be predicted, i am not sure how much more my brain can take, but i know i havent reached my peak scarily. I personally think my talent right now with the study ive put in has put me up in that 1900-2000 range.

As of today 6/26/2012, here is my goal by 6/26/2013:

I am going to beat an FM by the end of next year, i guarantee it.

That being said, i will continue to work hard, i am the example of someone with some talent that managed to turn his chess skill into art, i didnt know how to checkmate with a King and Rook vs King when i started playing chess seriously. My grandfather taught me when i was younger, i steadily got better, and started to beat him, but when i think of my grandpa, i think of all the help he gave me, disrespect him then i will say F*CK you on your profile, so dont say it.

Interestingly enough, getting beaten the crap out of helped me alot in chess. When i started playing chess, i really only understood tactics. I didnt understand opening or endgame theory particularly well, i only understood 2, 3,sometimes 4 move combinations. Getting beaten helped me in that i worked to improve stuff that would avoid getting beaten next time. I repeated the process many times since i started playing. I am so proud of myself of where I have come.

My chess highschool coach (who will remain undisclosed), analyzed my games, i remembered all of my thoughts, i got better, i was the type of person that never wrote anything down, i remember everything my coach and peers say that will help improve my game (atleast the significant stuff).

I want to say thank you to all who helped me.

I deleted everything that was on my profile, but alot of my mental thoughts have been shared via threads we know as forums.

One thing i just started recently is Chess960, it seems interesting, its pointless, but i guess i have nothing to lose haha.

Well, recently i have learned that i am a terrible online chess player, isn't that funny? The point being is that, i play better over the board, because of a few strange reasons.

My tactics are about equivalent OTB to online, it is just my positional moves i struggle with.

Something managable for me would be like Game 90, delay5.

One other thing is in, OTB, i feel more lazy strangely. Here is what i mean, i have better intuition over the board than online. It is a terrible thing to admit, but that is the truth, I sometimes lack the will to persevere and calculate until i see something i like in a position. I rely on my intuition (the chess 6th sense), to guide me alot.

Other than this, I just learned the french a few months ago, and i have liked my results with it. It suits my style and personality with a strong compact central pawn structure you get. It goes well with the dutch too.

I do offer coaching services, but i am not a crazy person who broadcasts/markets his services (Pawnpusher3), i just try to build up credibility as time goes on. I coach openings; only the french and dutch.

My first lesson is free, if you want to become one of my students. I do this because people generally are sometimes not satisfied with the first lesson, and feel like it was a waste of money; so i show my improvisation and coaching skills while i do such. Hopefully you are satisfied if you choose to become my student and continue recieving lessons from me.

For the record, my uscf rating is 1580, but i know it should be higher than this, but you never know

Like one young blood Elubas (a chess.com member) said
" Rating is based on results. I used to think I was underrated when... well actually, at many points in my pseudo-career, but to pick one moment... when I was 1600. Now, I am convinced today that there were things that I understood better than expert level players (certain positional ideas)... but it didn't matter. Experts were blundering less, and, no matter how crudely they were able to beat people like me, they did. They were simply more consistent. That's probably why you're at a lower rating than you would like. You might be higher than 1580, but no assumptions should be made -- it's possible to understand some very high level ideas well, but still get bad results due to lack of consistency.

In this case, you probably lost energy at the point where you traded queens (reference to a game), and playing ...exf5 was a crack. Up to that point you played solidly, but if you crack just once, you lose games -- that's why consistency is so important.

To be honest this sounds pretty accurate about my chess career so far in life; i can beat an NM if you give me enough time to prepare, but i can also lose to a random 1400; I just am inconsistent as a chess player.

I tend to lose positions i have good advantages in. Atleast the middlegame is my only problem.

My strong suits are Opening and Endgame, not much of a positional player, so much i am a tactical player, but not too tactical. I am a little worried though about my rating, let's just say I am a wild card, because i fail at random moments but i can be brilliant at points

If you are interested in anything and need to ask me, just post a note on my chess.com home profile page, or send me a message in private.

So a couple of things that fascinate me are women, manga, and biking, im a wierd person, not really sure what motivation for life i have, but if i have motivation for anything its become a better and better chess player each day of my life. It is scary how i thought i did not improve this past year! I mean the results clearly show otherwise, Last year in the U1600 section of the chicago class championship section i placed a sad 3.5 out of 5 possible points, not winning any money. After this, i swore to myself ill be a better player. My skill level i thought didnt get better, but now im beating 1800s and 1900s uscf more consistently now, my uscf is definitely underrated, i just put aside what elubas said above and try to get better. I think my uscf rating is 1950, so ill see as time goes on.

I recently beat my buddy CM Streetfighter (and drew IM pfren) in a correspondance game, but this means less than nothing until i beat him consistently, and to be honest, Andy let me off the hook, but give me some credit i capitilized.
