Week 11.5 Ratings update:
As has been common for the last few months, I was only able to find time for chess about every second day, so this is another week of study that is taking two weeks of real time. But I've made sure to keep the momentum going and not miss multiple days in a row, which I think is really important. I'll get to the end of the latest plan soon 
.
No update again this week, finding it hard to find time for chess again this week - other than playing in the ChessGoals Rapid tournament.
I'm so close to the end! I hope I can just finish it off before July ends.
Week 12 Ratings Update:
Finally through to the last week! Though my progress has been slower the last few weeks, I have managed to keep some momentum going consistently. For now, it still looks like my Rapid ratings gains are holding up, too! Onto the home stretch now, just some final blitz and rapid games to go before finishing up with my second study plan. It looks like it'll be right on time for me to get back into OTB as well.
Final Update:
And I have completed my second study plan! This one I needed to spread out over 16 weeks, since it was difficult to find enough time some weeks, but I made sure to focus on keeping some momentum going all the time, and am happy to have stuck with it until the end.
Very happy with the Rapid rating gains! 2000 Lichess rating was always a long term goal of mine and now after just 7 months of the study plans it is only a few points away
Week 11 Ratings update:
Almost at the end now! Will I be able to maintain the Rapid gains? I'm on a winning streak at the moment, so am expecting some pullback when that ends just as my wins/losses even out. It'll be interesting to see where I end up but regardless I think this will definitely be another 12 weeks I am quite happy with!
