Im bored and saw this being done so I shall do it too nyeh heh heh

hi! I've just reached ACF 836 (with !) and I'd Love to know how to improve to get to ACF rating of 900-1100! tysm!!

I literally got 900 ELO! I know most of you are way past that but for me, that's a huge milestone. 

Anybody have recommendations for books about chess? What's the very best chess book you've read, the one that helped you the most or the one you most enjoyed? I'd ask that people only recommend books they have read themselves, not just something you heard was good. If you can elaborate on why you think it's a good recommendation, that is helpful as well.

It would really be appreciated if anyone could guide me to reach 1500, till end of 2025. I had one coaching irl in past and there I was able to solve mate in 7 mentally, I don't know what happened to me now, I just blunder up piece after over thinking You could analyze my games (you will see it in last 2 games, I lost by blundering up)

I still see myself as a beginner in the vast world of chess. But I'm aiming high, my goal is to hit at least a 2200 Elo by next year. It’s not just about the rating; it’s about the grind, the learning, and the thrill of seeing those “checkmate” moments come alive. So, here I am, diving into opening theories, endgames, grinding tactics puzzles, and reviewing games like my life depends on it. Join me on this journey; let’s discuss, strategize, and push each other to new heights! Who knows, maybe one day, I’ll look back at this post from the other side of 2200. Let’s make it happen! ♟️🔥

EVERYONE IS JUST ASKING HOW TO BREAK 1200 ELO FIRSTLY STOP ASKING THIS QUESTION AND THINK WHAT IS THE RIGHT APPROACH .FOCUS ON YOUR TACTICS MORE .ANALYS YOUR OWN GAMES AND CHECK WHERE YOU ARE GOIG WRONG.IMPROVE YOUR OPENING KNOWLEDGE AND INSTEAD OF MEMORISING THE POSITION TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE REASON BEHIND THE MOVES .LEARN BASIC ENDGAMES .IMP: STOP PLAYING BULLETS IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR IMPROVEMENT, PLAY LONG TIME CONTROLS FOLLOW THESE THINGS CONSISTANTLY  FOR ATLEAST ONE AND HALF MONTH AND CHECK WHY YOU WONT IMPROVE YOUR RATING.YOU MAY THINK WHO AM I . IAM CHESSCOM OFFICAL STREAMER . AND RECENTLY REACHED 2066 ELO IN RAPID .

I'm currently at 1700, any good books for recommendation?? Taking recommendations of those only above my level

Three times now I've gotten to 1190 odd, been one game away from getting to 1200 and all of a sudden I tilt. What is going on!? Why does this happen every time I reach a milestone like this?

I was introduced to chess when i was 11 years old. I only learned how to play and played few games. But later never got much chance to play or learn. After many years, i played chess only after joining Chess.com in 2023. Previously i used to quit as soon as i lost my Queen, but after playing on Chess.com many things changed, I continued to play even after loosing queen and won few games without queen, i learned about Castling, tactics and few other things here. I enjoy learning through practice than studying so i preferred playing games and solving puzzles more. I don't know about the names of openings that i play, In my games i can only think of what my opponents next step would be, i never thought beyond that. Out of impulse i make my moves very quickly i never take time, i want to change that. In Rapid my highest rating is 922, Most of the time it's in range of 600 - 800. I want to master this game and cross 1000, 1500 , 2000 etc step by step. Please suggest me how i can achieve this.

Saw other people doing this so I figured I would contribute as well. Please don't ask me to be your coach. 

I’m looking for 5 people below 1000 in rapid to coach for free, if interested respond here or dm me

I as a almost 1600 rated player blundered winning positions in rapid games due to tunnel visioning  or not seeing the threat. My kryptonite is "Winning a winning position". How do I practice to overcome the weakness?

So, I am around 300-400 points stronger than one of my frnds on cc, but everytime I play him I dont play at my strength and prolly for the first time, I have a -ve score against him while also being at my best cc rapid rating ever. At the same time, when I play a stronger opponent, I tend to play slightly above my strength. How do I keep mysel in this state for more games?

Hi, I am looking for a training partner to play games with and do puzzles and stuff, who I can try to like break 1000, maybe just 900 with. I am stuck at 650ish, and I often go on tilt.  prefered rating: 600-750 yes, I got inspired by that guy who is trying to break 1500

I often like to play longer time formats such as 15 | 10 or 30 Minute Games however, I always find myself being too impulsive and impatient. I was wondering if there are anyways to stop this and help.
