I blew past my blitz goal for last year by 250 points, but I am still 2 (yes, 2) points under my rapid goal. I have new goals set for this year.
Accomplishments And Celebrations
I made a lot of progress with my ratings in the last two months or so (of 2024).
Since sometime in October, my rapid went from 2050 to 2250, blitz went from 1950 to 2350, and bullet went from 2050 to 2450. Hoping I can continue to improve!
Placed third in my first OTB tournament (lower division) in Denver Oprah's Rook Club. Beat my first opponent with a kings gambit trap i had been studying
nice puzzle. Very insightful
I defeated chessgoals when I was a mid 1250 and he was 1700. Not a good day for his fans (I'm also a fan) but I played solidly despite my rating.
I did! Hit 1,000 in around 3 months of learning how to play, and also, on my daily games, I once luckily won against someone rated around 1,050 daily/1,000 rapid when I had just started, he beat me like 4 or 5 times in a row after that. Now I can say I've beaten him more than he has beaten me after winning 4 matches against him in a row.
Studying so I can say the same about reaching 1,600 this year ![]()
I hit 1650 elo in bullet and I became a 1400 in rapid (btw I am a very young player)
