I finally crossed 1500 in my rapid. This is significant to me as 1500 was the goal I had set for myself when I first started. I was hoping to have achieved this feat within a year, but I am a few months shy of my two year mark. Chess is a very hard game. There have been a lot of trying moments. Especially during the time it took to go from 1400 to 1500. Several tilts, a lot of frustration, a lot of self-doubt and loathing. But ultimately my hard-headedness won out and I reached the first big goal I set for myself. 

It's definitely been worth the trip. Now I have my eyes set on reaching 2000 someday. I'm going to keep to my process and try to improve upon it as I go along. I have a lot of people that I'm grateful to for their help and patience in getting me to this point. My coach and various friends that I've met along the way. You know who you are, thank you for putting up with me and my pessimistic nature along the way. 

Onward and upwards! 1600 is the next stepping stone. As always I'm posting the milestone game and I wish you all best vibes and best of luck on your journey in Chess. 🙏

Hey, congrats on the 1500+ rating milestone! happy.png

I still remember how happy I was the first time I crossed the 1500 barrier - probably way more excited than when I crossed 1600. There is just something cool about 1500+ in how it looks. You are more in the "advanced" realm for what many consider! At the very least, 1500 is no longer beginner-range. grin.png

Many thanks again! On to 1600. 1500 is old already. 🤣🤣

But seriously, I appreciate all of you. 🙏
