Road to 1500!

Nov 14, 2025, 4:16 PM | 3

Hello everyone! My name is Jacob and this is my first blog post! A bit about me: I’m rated 900 in rapid and I love to play rapid, blitz, and daily chess. I’ve been playing chess for 7 years now and I’ve decided I’m going to try to hit 1500 in rapid! My blog will detail this effort, day by day. I’m going to play my first game now and I’ll be back with an update!

Hi guys! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Jacob, and I’ve been an avid chess player for 9 years.

I’m rated around 1000 elo on chess.com, with an inaccurate FIDE rating because I never play OTB.

I love to blog about my own games and chess history. I love daily games and accept any challenge 🙂. I'm currently participating in BlogChamps, and my goal is to become a Top Blogger, however long that may take!

The crowning glory of my career was my post about the Caro Crab, which can be found on my blogs page. This post won 4th place in BlogChamps' first ever April Fools contest.

I'm an active participant in every club I join, but I'm very selective about my clubs because I want to only be in clubs that will challenge me to improve my play.

I’m currently very busy, so it may take me a day or two to respond to DMs.

If you enjoy my content, please drop a comment, and read my other posts as well!

May your tactics stay sharp.
