How long does it usually take to get to a new rating goal or from title to title?

Hello Josh11live, that depends on the new rating goal. It's much easier to get from 1100-1300 then to get to 2300-2500.

can you tell me a trick to get a rating of 1000

The trick is lot's of practice. Especially basic tactics like forks and discovery attacks.

Hello. Amb Fide rating 1859. What books are good for me to get to 2000 at the end of this year? Thanks

Hello Eculo, an endgame book is always useful. I'd recommend to study three throughout time: Jeremy Silman's Endgame Manual, 100 endgames you must know by Jesus de la Silva and Dvoretsky's Endgame manual. The last one I would study last as that one is the hardest to read.

Hi! I have somewhat an interesting question please consider answer it,

So recently I came across playing bullet for a long time, I find it fun because it needs speed and not thinking but in bullet I am so fast at playing moves like really FAST my opponents always lose unless they checkmated me or I am low in time

So the question is, does playing moves incredibly fast in bullet gets your account banned for fair play?!

Also please consider checking my most bullet games, for deep analysis :]

Thanks

Hello Kavarin, that is quite interesting and impressive. Fast play doesn't get you banned as far as I know. Only cheating and with bullet that seems very hard to do.

How can I acheive a Master title when I'm a 900elo player by completing courses in chess. Com?

I wouldn't think of a Master title just yet. I would focus on step by step improvement. First step is to see tactics quickly. Once you have mastered that to a good level you can start thinking of positional play, like how to place your pieces, pawns and attack the king. Also defense becomes important of course. A coach also really helps to guide you through this and can spot and fix patterns that could use improvement in your games.

How do I get good opening preparation against moves 1. Nf3 ; 1. Nc3 ; 1. f4 and annoying openings like Trompowsky?

Play 1. d4 ...everyone is playing 1.e4 ...so this already confuses your opponents and scares them. A surprised opponent is half-beaten.

Hey

Kyojuro_R_5

So...is it that blitz is easier than rapid because the opponent panics and makes bad moves? That has happened to me a lot of times.

Hi. I'm about 2000 FIDE.

Currently I'm only playing one opening line, struggling with variety. Any ideas of how to incorporate more openings into my play?

Also, I often reach winning positions against much higher rated opponents (at least +200) and about +2/+3 positions out of the opening or middlegame where I should be easily pushing. Yet sometimes I fail to convert and even lose those positions. Any ideas on how to work on converting?

Thanks in advance.

Let's say you are given any position. What questions would you ask yourself and answer immediately before making a move (in an OTB game)
