wanted to celebrate
If in your game if retreating a piece gives you a better opportunity or position than do it no matter who says otherwise.
Great progress well done.
Maybe try playing some longer games and see how that goes - 10 mins is still speed chess I think?
Pushing to 1200 this year
keep grinding! It's gonna catch you by surprise. You'll just be playing games normally then you're suddenly 1200 lol

Gothamchess, the concept of hopechess, the concept of if you have to make a move back it's probably bad...all of those has led me to 1200. I'm not sure if this was ok improvement but I'm really happy woo 🥳
