This is what your rating should look like after a year of playing chess.
If you spend one year playing chess, you might expect to have some progress.
That’s why some person made this question in a forum:
My answer is
The rating depends on the person. There’s no exact number you might expect.
Instead, focus on enjoying your journey and progress at the same time.
Enjoying the journey is more important. If you prioritize enjoying the journey while progressing, this is how your chess should NOT be after one year.
- Still afraid of playing rated games
- Afraid of playing with humans
- Only playing against bots or anonymous games
- Not having a routine to study
- Not having a plan to study
- Stuck in the same rating, or rating sill oscillates a lot
- Having hundreds of games that you never have studied and learned from them
- Playing for copying instead of learning and progressing.
- You constantly want to quit or stop because the game is too hard.
If you fall into these patterns repeatedly, you are not enjoying your ride.
During your path to improve your chess, make sure you have remarkable experiences meeting new people, contrasting ideas with opponents, help others that are lower rated for you.
If you are not enjoying the journey, consider surrounding yourself with people who enjoy chess and can show you the other side.
I hope this helps.
See you on the winning side.
If you love chess and want to meet people who want to enjoy their journey, I am creating a new group on chess. com where I will post exclusive content like masterclasses.
If you want an invitation, comment: “journey” below.
