400 to 1000 in 3.5 months

Hello,

I am here to share my progress up until now and also to ask for advice as to how to keep improving at the same pace. 

I started playing chess in June 2020, with a chess.com rating of around 400, Before this, I only briefly knew the rules of the game and had played a few games here and there in my childhood. On September 16th 2020, I achieved a rating of 1000+ in the 10+0 time control.

Here are some of the things I did to get there:

1) Play only 10-minute time control: I might have played a few bullet games here and there, but by far, my preferred time control has been 10+0. I feel It gives you enough time to calculate and doesn't make the game too boring for a beginner either.

2) Analyse critical games: I made it a point to analyse all the critical games I played to understand my mistakes and understand the game better.

3) Play often and Play Mindful: I made it a point to play at least a few games every day for regular improvement. Each game I would play, I would try not to blitz out the moves but to try and be a little mindful of the game.

4) Take breaks: That being said, taking breaks was crucial for me. I truly believe that true learning happens in a state of rest. I observed that over exhaustion led to me performing poorly and I made it a point to take a couple of days off every now and then to recharge my batteries and come back refreshed. I noticed that each time I returned after a break, I was considerably stronger even though I hadn't touched the game during the timeouts.

5) Learn one opening: I observed that playing a lot of openings with limited knowledge of each one led me hanging pieces and losing the mid-game. I decided to play one opening religiously and build knowledge of all the different lines in that opening. My opening choices were: Accelerated London System as white and Scotch Defense as black.

6) Constant Learning: I'll have to be honest, I didn't solve as many tactics, maybe 500 in total. But constant learning was always a theme for me. The usual way I learnt was through video learning. I watched a lot of chess streams including Hikaru's and Anish Giri's videos. I found that watching these streams introduced to new themes in chess that I otherwise wouldn't have found. I also looked at the analysis of a lot of chess games on various channels such as Agadmator and ChessBase India. My favourite till now has been linked below:

7) Playing with family and friends: Playing the game with strangers over the internet can get a bit dull. I found that introducing my family and friends to the beautiful game of chess helped keep the game fun and interesting for me. I play OTB games when family or friends come over and thus I built a little community of chess around me which kept me from getting bored with the game.

My goal is to become a titled player as soon as possible, as outlandish as that sounds. I am writing this to ask for any helpful advice from stronger players or even titled ones themselves, that would help me achieve my goal. 

Thanks

400-1000= 1000-1300

1300-2000= 2000-2400

2400-2600 = 2750-2800 

The Stronger you get the tougher it is, all the best for the rest, I hope my advise is useful

what does the numbers mean?
