Hi all - I don't think most folks read through all the forum posts, but wanted to share my results with the Beginner 1 program. My focus was in the Rapid category on chess.com and over the 12-weeks, I gained 175 points! Very happy with my results after being stuck at ~1000 for three months. The focus on a few tasks each day was just what I needed. I'm going to take a little break and then start Beginner 2 in January.
Hi @arie64 - I use one where I track my time for various aspects - dailies, rapid, tactics, long games, openings/endgame/strategy. Someone also posted a few months ago a spreadsheet for tracking games themselves, including what opening was played, how they developed, etc. It should be in the forums.
Hi all, I’m new here. I’m trying to set up a spreadsheet to help manage my chess play and study and it looks like this club may help me. Rated about 1600 rapid, playing mainly long time limits.
