I've actually been so excited to write this blog, I've started writing today(23rd October 2021); but this blog has been released on January 1st 2022/December 31st, depending on what time zone you're in .
1 Year On Chess.Com!
First of all, a huge thanks to a lot of people, offering to play and offering advice.
Huge shout-out to @HushedFalconSr who got me playing chess again!
2021 Chess In Review!
Ah! What a year it has been! Grinding, learning, and helping out. I'll use my AimChess Recap to help me with this section.
Stats correct of 31.12.2021! I think this is a lot of time playing chess-don't you? :)Haha. It's rather funny of how my stats show I won a lot of games by time; instead a contributor to this fact was stallers in winning positions who timed out ;)I played @santa777x, one of my friends a lot this year and to be honest, our stats have been pretty close!
Well, take a look at this! The main contributor to this was not standard chess but instead 3 Check tactics!
I like playing the Queen's Pawn Opening->London System, but this stat shocks me. Probably blunders in the middlegame/endgame. I'll analyse some of these in the New Year!
Some time control stats. I didn't really get into daily chess that much this year; rapid and blitz were some points where I lagged but I improved I PLAYED MORE KING MOVES THAN QUEEN MOVES?! Is that from crazy premoves?! I remember this game indeed! HushedFalcon made some mouseslips. Very bad, too!It was part of my larger chess journey indeed! Bullet was really fun and I hope to get to at least 1500 bullet in 2022! See you there next year on this day!Here's some nice blitz stats. Just shows how much time I've taken and all the effort I've put in!Rapid's been really fun to play. I played a lot of 10I0, 15I10s and some 20I0sI haven't exactly enjoyed Daily Chess, but it's quite interesting to see that huge curve!#veryhelpful3checkopening ......haha..I'll try studying a new opening. Any suggestions?Interesting openings; I'll try learning the Caro-Kann or another opening? Thoughts?On this- the Van't Krujis is obviously my main go-to 3 check opening, I had an obsession with the Scotch in around February-March 2021.OK I am really shocked at these. Opening Explorer tells me that these really are what I have been playing! Everyone likes winning! And so do I . Winning-54%, Losing-44%, Drawing-2%
I'd have thought Kingside would be higher? No?!
And to wrap this section off- 22 games in a row is my highest winning streak. Good,right?!
2021 Chess Goals Recapped
At the start of the year, I made a bunch of goals. I've achieved most of them!
Well I was 2 elo away from 850 in chess960 and 7 away in KOTH. Oh well! I was close to Blitz 800(787 in October) but tilted way back down. I did achieve Daily 900 at one point but at the end...tilted down.. :(. But overall what a positive year it has been!
2022 Chess Goals
Hopefully, 2022 can be better, and I can become even better! I'm hoping to get Rapid 1050, Blitz 1000, Bullet 1300, Daily 1000, 3 Check 1400, KOTH 1000, Crazyhouse 1100, chess960 1000 and Bughouse 1000.
We shall see! I achieved the miracles in 2021, I'm going to strive to get to these ratings!
