2150 players are not Titans!
Hi guys,
I am studying chess these days and I have improved a lot. I was stuck at 1800-1900 for some time on chess.com, but in the last few days, I have been playing at 2100 and I am very happy with my new rating. Maybe I am just running hot, maybe not, only time will tell.
I am 40 years old and may be a little old to improve my chess, but I love chess, so I will continue to study and play. Even if I get stuck at some level, I will still have fun!
Some time ago, when I was rated 1800, I played a game against a 2100 player and felt nervous and afraid. Oh my God! I am playing against a titan! But 2100 players are not titans; They are just a patzer with some improved tactics, better time management, and more practice.
In the game, the 2150 player missed a simple fork and blundered in a simple pawn ending. See the white's moves at 17 (a simple fork) and 49.Kc8, which would have been a draw, but he played 49.Kg2??? at the end.
