Hassan 's Beginner Study Plan

Avatar of W1ldg00se

I have been playing Chess daily for a while now and managed to get +126 rating since I started taking this seriously. But I have been floating around 900-1000 range for a while now. Studying on my own was hard because of the sheer amount of information available today but I hope with this plan I can focus on improving my chess without switching over chess books and different chess Tactics apps every other day.

 

Here's my current rating.

Blitz 500

Rapid 955

Daily 770

Puzzles (Chess.com) 1359

I have very similar rates to yours.  I started the Novice Plan about 4 weeks ago and have been very happy with it.  Good luck with your plan.

End of first week. (Rapid)

Blitz 500

Rapid 978 (+23)

Daily 900 (+130)

Puzzles (Chess.com) 1437 (+78)

 

Since many of you recommended me to play on longer time I have been playing 15 | 10 games. Previously I used to play almost always 10 minutes games. This week was my first time playing daily games as well. I noticed I made less blunders this week compare to my usual. In daily games I managed to bag 5 wins out of 6 games played.  Also the last rapid game I played against a 1037 rated player, I managed to win with a score of 91.9. Overall I'm quite happy with my performance.

End of second week. This week it was almost only blitz games and daily games. 

Blitz 552 (+52)

Rapid 986 (+8)

I lost some daily games for silly mistakes which I could have easily avoided if I gave my full concentrate. But it was a rough week at work as well.

This week was a mess because of personal life being busy. Although I tried to keep up with the plan it was difficult so I might have taken a bit longer to finish this week tasks. Nevertheless, this is the results for this week.
