Going into this round I was clear first with a 4-0-0 plus I won a side game so I have 5 wins coming into tonight. I was wanting to play a good game of chess. Turns out I won and finished with a score of 5-0-0 with a side game win for a score of 6-0-0! My first time winning this many games in a row and probably my last! Now the real question remains: When will I actually get good at this game?!
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!
