I'm freakin trash at chess..
This study plan got me to like 1500 https://www.chess.com/article/view/study-plan-directory. In my opinion I think it can get someone to like 2000+
Improving at chess is usually not easy. If you can afford few lessons, I would advise getting a coach. I can teach you how to think during the chess game. After that, your progress is inevitable.
If you can't afford any lessons, here is the excerpt from very good article on how to improve:
Play a lot, analyze your games, and primarily study tactics. Your knowledge of openings, endgame, middlegame, etc. will come from analyzing your games and going over grandmaster games. Only study one of those specific topics if it is clear you are specifically losing because of that topic.

Good luck either way! ![]()
If you like chess, you will get better. It's like any other game. Be it Street Fighter, Ghost n' Goblins, chess, whatever. Play 10.000 times and you will have improved.
LemonSkull69 you were right 10000 games and my lost rating is 1500. A year ago I started out at the bottom but emerged from nonsense chess into intense well playing chess
I was 375 elo for 3 year 3k games. Now I don't know my elo 😆😄
It's cuz I was only playing unrated. But I jumped to around 1300 1400 with a year of hard work. It's funny coz it's shows me 800 elo 🤣
Serious improvement in chess rarely happens within the right environment, where players analyze positions deeply, exchange ideas, and continuously challenge themselves to think better.
Strategix Universe was created around this philosophy. Rather than being just another club focused on casual games, it is designed as a structured learning environment where thoughtful discussion, strategic exploration, and purposeful activity help players develop real understanding of the game.

- Quality tournaments and matches that encourage practical application of ideas learned through study.
- Thoughtful forums and discussions where players analyze concepts, exchange perspectives, and refine their thinking.
Players who happen to discover the right environment at the right stage of their journey often find it becomes a meaningful turning point in their development.
If you believe progress in chess comes from the right mindset, structured thinking, and a serious learning environment, this may be a place worth exploring.

There seems to be a misunderstanding. At no point did I claim to be a coach or a teacher. I am also a chess learner, just like most members here.
The Strategix Universe Personalized Chess Training Program is organized by the Strategix Universe training team, not by me alone. My role is simply to help manage the club environment where players can train, discuss ideas, participate in activities, and improve together.
Also, chess improvement is not determined solely by someone’s rating. Many strong learning environments are built by people who organize structure, discussions, and training systems, while the actual learning happens collectively.
Strategix Universe exists as a training, learning, and improvement environment. Anyone who wants to take chess development seriously is welcome to participate and benefit from the resources and activities available.
