Welcome to the forums! Looking forward to seeing how your study plan progresses.
Rhi_Autumns study plan
Well. End of first week. I did day 6 and 7 in opposite order, but here I am.
7 Daily games completed rating at 935 provisionally. 4wins 3 losses, but 3 out of those 4 wins were just my opponent abandoned the game, not exactly satisfying or educational. 1 of the losses was because I had two options to defend a pawn and chose the wrong one. position became unplayable very quickly. the other two I was up against strong players who got the better of me.
Puzzles rating has improved a little up to 1680. I'm generally getting 3.5 correct out of the 5 dailies.
Rapid rating has declined a little bit down to 1167. I got tilted by weird opening variations. one which ended up with a closed position and their Knight was just far too strong vs my bishop with all other things being equal.
I have to give up on trying to improve my chess right now. I'm getting emotional in my games. I'm already stressed due to multiple other factors. It's just too hard right now. Wake me up when 2020 ends maybe..
what I might keep up with is the puzzles. If I limit myself to only doing puzzles maybe I'll still make some gains when I restart playing games.
Week 1 Day 1
1084 Blitz
1181 Rapid
1613 Puzzles
BEGINNER study plan.
Kinda aiming for 200 points gain in each rating category.
I'm confident (mostly) with my openings. I usually don't blunder anything major there, sometimes a pawn, or a minor piece but It's really the middle and endgames I think I need to improve on the most.
