How I raised my rating

In this blog, I'll be talking about how I managed to raise my rating. Since June of 2023, 6 months ago, my rating went on a steady descent from 1200-750 USCF. No matter how much Chess.com puzzles or lessons I took, I couldn't overcome my rating losses. But, one day before I made this post, I made a big jump in the USCF rating from 757 to 890. Almost 150 points. How? I have been doing 24 puzzles each day. Once I check the answers, I normally go back and think 'Why is this move right?'. Then, I bought a medal stand that said: "Never give up". I never gave up, and I kept taking chess lessons. I played in tournaments every Sunday at a chess club, and I kept playing until my rating came up again.

If you have any feedback or comments, please leave them in the chat.

Thanks!
