Hi everyone I’m Aleck I’ve been playing chess for a couple of years now. I actually have Levy’s board and recently got it a few months or so ago. My main goal is to get the average rating most people have here. My highest is only 200 something in bullet. I love chess and kpop, and the craziest thing that happened was recently one of the idols I follow in kpop bought a chessboard by the same company Queen’s Gambit used so more people are getting into chess!

Chess has seen a really big surge in popularity recent decade and still is growing, wich will open up more possibilty's to make a career out of chess, glad to hear you enjoy chess alot. If you want to grow to your goal i reccomend getting a diamondmembership &do lessons and game reviews thats should get you to 650 elo
Game review is not good, ask literally any strong player who's not sponsored by chesscom--I would recommend to just play slow time controls, at least 10 min, and do puzzles on lichess.org

Lichess puzzles are exponentially difficult man. my puzzle rating there is 1839. but I went through hell to get there. I still think it's the best for studying tho
