I started playing chess seriously a little over 1 month ago when I was rated 1080 in rapid, and grinded nearly every day. I'm now 1500, and I'm curious if this improvement speed is slow, average, or fast? For those of you who already went through that range, what was your improvement speed? Also I would appreciate any ideas, tips and advice on how to get to 1800. Ty!
Nah you were fast
That's very good!
To get to 1800 would be considerably more difficult.
I'd recommend mastering very few openings and always using those, as few as possible at first. Then solve puzzles on a daily basis, concentrate on solving at least a few daily. That kind of small consistent commitment is superior to attempting too many puzzles per day to then quit after a week. Also, improve your knowledge and skills regarding the endgame.
Guys, I started with 300-500 elo status, was bunz at the game, but I absolutely loved it, and every win felt like a victory against the odds of winning, even though that's literally that, but anyways, in over just a couple of months, Max if a year, I grew into 1700, and 1800 on blitz, and 1902 on IRL TOURNS, I wonder if this natural speed for improving, and yes, every second I have free time, I play chess, im the next bobby fisher🥹❤️🩹
1000 upto 1500 within 1 month - it’s very fast. However, I assume that 1000-level was not your level.
At certain moment you will reach your real level and then progress will be much slower.
Like the past 4 months since I posted this…😭😭🙏🙏I improved by -30 elo …
It’s tempting to trace rating but try to improve your skills instead. Rating will follow.
My skills regressed -_-
Average improvement from 1000 to 1500 is never.
1500 puts them in the top 3% which the vast majority can only dream of.

Should I feel happy that I’m consistently stuck at 1500 after playing over 700 games then 😅🙏
Is this degenerating into a "mine's bigger than yours" thread?

Maybe. I'd love to be 1500 but I'm still at 1200.
