Week 2 Day 1:
Current Ratings
Blitz: 799
Rapid: 1168
Daily: 997
My ratings dropped across the board, but those original numbers where back from when I had been playing more and studying. I also never really played much Blitz or Rapid. Not discourage but I've definitely been disappointed by some of my play so far. This is why we study, right?
Week 3 Day 1:
Current Ratings
Blitz: 708
Rapid: 1012
Daily: 997
Ratings dropped across the board again. Most likely that Daily will have a significant drop this week being as I signed up for a tournament and was given 22 games to play. I didn't know how to get out of it and didn't want that many games, so had to resign all games started. Oh well - onwards and upwards!
Week 4 Day 1:
Current Ratings
Blitz: 699
Rapid: 951
Daily: 896
Ratings dropped across the board again. Largest drop was Daily as predicted. Still on the program and hoping for some upward movement this week.
Week 5 Day 1:
Current Ratings
Blitz: 657
Rapid: 870
Daily: 952
Daily coming back up after dropping after getting out of an overbearing tournament. I'm not a fan of blitz but will continue on since I'm following this course to the end.
following your progress ma.
What even is your study plan? Or are you just playing games and listing rating fluctuations?
I purchased a 12 week course online that has me playing Daily, Rapid, and Blitz games everyday along with supplemental study materials. Then I post my rating fluctuations here every week.

Current Ratings
Blitz: 1084
Rapid: N/A
Daily: 1017
My main goal is just to learn something new so that every 6-12 months when I look back on my previous chess skill, I can be happy with my improvement. I'm hoping this study plan will provide a bit more direction and focus to get there, and that I improve more than I otherwise would.
