Hi everyone,
My name is Mawita, and I'm 1728 FIDE classical, even though my chess.com rating is 200 points lower. I've been playing chess for 11 years, since I was 3, even though I started training and studying in early September 2024, and I have improved a lot. I play e4 and the Spanish or Italian (depending on what I'm in the mood to play) My goal is to reach the level of a 2000 FIDE by the end of summer, when I'll have a lot of time to dedicate to chess, and in two years time, be a 2200 and try to be a titled player. I am thriving to learn and I don't mind spending a lot of time for chess

Hi Mawita, we share similar goals and have a similar FIDE rating. Let's play some games sometime, and goodluck on your goals!

Hi, I'm @ChessBeteigeuze I play chess since late 2023 and my national rating in germany (DWZ) is 1060. My chess.com rapid rating is 100 points lower, but I'm really underrated, both online and OTB. My goals for 2025 are reaching 1300 OTB and 1400 rapid. I want to become a titled player in a few years. My favorite opening is the scotch game.

Hey everyone. My name is Carly. I am trying to improve at Chess. I have played since I was a child but never seriously. Coming back to the game at Age 31 has been tough. I have a background in other competitive games such as MTG and Poker but recently have moved to Chess. I am currently rated 500 but have gained 100 ELO since taking it seriously. My target is 1000 by the end of the year.

Hello everyone,

My name is Ben, and I'm currently 412 rapid (don't hold that against me; I can beat almost everyone in my chess club). I've been playing chess for about 4 years, but I started PLAYING in 2023*. I currently play a variety of openings, but my main forte is either the dragon sicilian, the english, or the queen's gambit (the show was amazing). My goal is to get a lot better at chess than I currently am, and to increase my rating to 800 by the end of the year.

(My dream goal is to play Magnus Carlsen :0)

*Basically, my dad used to beat everyone in my house at chess. In 2023, I decided I finally wanted to beat him. So I studied. And studied. And studied. Now, I beat him within the first 20-30 moves and he can't find a way to beat me (he doesn't care enough to study like I do lol)

That's cute.

Hello everyone! I feel very good that I joined this club. I have always loved chess and the game, been playing since I was a kid, went to clubs and everything and was really close to taking awards on Junior tournaments here in Greece, my country. I am 21 years old and I have started playing chess again after a long break. I am steady between 1200 - 1300 elo and until the end of the year I would love to improve my blitz rating up to 1500 and start going again in a chess club near my home so I can compete over the board. Mostly want to improve my tactics, finales and learn new repertoire for openings.

I'm from the U.S and I am a young, amateur level competitive chess player who aims to reach the highest levels. I want to reach 2k rapid by the end of the year from my original rating of 1600 (halfway there as I'm making this). I also want to spread chess to other people around the world!

I wish you all the best in your improvement!

1465 in general means you are significantly above average across all ages, so congrats, but you're probably lacking structured and concentrated training. I was in the exact same situation as you at around the 14-1500 level, but now, I have several Grandmasters tell me they estimate my FIDE classical rating should be over 1800 (I'm much better otb). I have improved a lot because of proper training. If you would like help, please message me, I'd be happy to review your games and chat with you!
