Avatar of jnowland

Hello, I started playing chess over the quarantine as something to do and have really loved it. I’ve made some improvements but have stagnated a little bit. My ratings are right on the line of novice and beginner so I decided to start on novice to try to work out some bad habits I may have picked up. 

Daily: 1025 (out of 48 games, mostly in tournament play)

Blitz: 695 (out of 1025 games, most of which were 10 minute games before they moved to Rapid)

Rapid: 823 (out of 263)

My daily games are going to be a Ruy Lopez tournament I am currently playing in.

going to start up the rest of the plan tomorrow! Excited to work towards improvement!

Life got a little busy after I got this started but over the past couple of weeks i have started playing more slow games, and been working through Logical Chess and really enjoying it!
