My chess journey

Hello guys!

I just started playing chess this year and i remember those times where i was so badd! Now i'm increasing rating and slowly getting up the rating ladder! i'm 500 right now and i want to be 800 in rapid by the end of 2023!

Do you guys remember your first moments in your chess life?

yeah 2021

i dont no you

Hire a trainer and everything will be faster

I knew how the pieces moved when I was like 5 or 6 but I started learning chess in this April and I am improving a lot

I started in chess. com not knowing how to move the pieces, so I made random moves,

and lost on time

now I am 900

that was me as a beginner

Don't limit yourself to 800. If you set a higher goal, then you'll work harder and if you fail, your failure may still bring you above 800. Rather, you should set some smaller goals like 800 and stuff. If you focus on tactics and puzzles, you could easily make it to 1100 by year's end. If you throw this in with some of your games that you play regularly, you definitely could hit 4 digits. Also, don't be afraid to play a bit slower with rapid games. If you play slow and get an advantage and then play fast after that happens, it will help you learn more because you'll be thinking more and you may be able to win more games.

Same!

I had some games vs my friend back in 2012 or so, quite funny to look at them because we've improved very fast after a period. However they went more on the LoL craze while I still kept playing chess and devouring chess content, nowadays it is hard for him to beat me in a game.

Still always delightful to play him nonetheless.

When i learned how to move the pieces, I remember I was 9 years old and always lost to my dad... But I improved, now am close to 1200 elo and always beat him

Nice

Great at the beginning it’s very hard but then you get used to it

Thank for telling me that 
I’ll probably change my goal to 1100
