I gained 600 points in first 6 months. Then I gained 500 points in the following 15 months. It is much easier to gain points when you are starting out. Going from 1200 to 2200 is a big deal. After you reach 1500 improvement gets really slow.
lol, I've been stuck at 2200 for a long time now...
lol i have the same feeling
beginners really should focus and tactics, what's the point of getting a space advantage and a winning plan, if you blunder back rank mate?
would you really want to be:
The person who gets a winning position
or
The person who cheeses his opponent in a losing position?
a losing position with still a lot of pieces left is still playable if the two people are beginners.
So you're saying beginners should get in losing positions because their opponents can't convert?
