Best of luck with your progress!
thanks MadLuc! Gonna post it there right now.
I‘ve been completing my first week to much success. Analyzing my games seems very hard for me, but I‘m trying my best.
(I‘m playing rapid on lichess and blitz on chess.com)
lichess Rapid 1354 -> 1363
chess.com Blitz 864 -> 882
puzzles 1578 -> 1809
nice job! I have found in chess, that improvement is a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, some weeks are up, some down, but if you step back and can see the graph on an upward slope, then all the hard work is worth it!
been sticking to the plan and playing rapid last week. My rating did‘nt really change (which, after over 35 games is a bit disappointing). I‘m having a really hard time analyzing my blitz games - I just don‘t know what to look for in so many games. I think I‘m doing much better taking my time in analyzing the rapid games - which I‘m looking forward to doing in the coming week. My ultimate goal will be reaching 1000 blitz on chess.com. This seems like a long road still.
lichess Rapid 1363 -> 1375
chess.com Blitz 882 -> 890
puzzles 1809 -> 1876
Hi! Excited to start this. My first question would be about the silman book: when should i study it? Should i finish the chapters by the time it is mentioned in the plan? Best! Paul
