Day 15
Happy Thanksgiving!
After two weeks of my #100DaysofChess here are the stats:
Starting Rating (Tactics Trainer): 1574
Current Rating (Tactics Trainer): 2026
Puzzles Attempted: 155
Accuracy: 88.4% (137 correct; 18 failed)
I want to increase my accuracy going forward and continue to push myself to calculate better.
My name is David Blackwelder. I started playing tournament chess at the age of 22. I have worked my way from the 1200s to a peak rating of 1844 (December 2021). Those are my United States Chess Federation (USCF) ratings. My short-term goal is to reach a rating of 2000 which will earn me the Expert title. My long-term goal is to get the National Master (NM) title at a rating of 2200. As an adult they say it is near impossible, well I don't believe that. Therefore I am creating blogs and videos to help other adult players improve their chess. Thanks for following me!
