Those links don't work, you have to give your name.  (At least I don't know how to make them work).

But it's interesting, I'd like to see your rating history.  How long had you been playing before tournaments?

Oh I see it.  #14562942 right?

2200 in 4 years?

It shows 2100 in 3 years Tongue Out

Lots of G/30 tournaments (wow, ~150 in 3 years... once a week huh?)

That's really good.  I think a few Texas universities offer some chess scholarships.  If you're headed that direction you might look into that.

no i got there in 3 years if you look at the graph correctly

Avatar of waffllemaster

Weird... I somehow thought you said 4 years... yeah, you said less than 3 never mind.

It says 2178 is current rating.  Maybe not showing your latest tournament yet?

Avatar of e4Najdorf

yes, it will be up soon

Congrats Smile

3 years is really fast, I'm sure it's not your peak yet!  Do you have any goals like IM or GM?

Avatar of MrDamonSmith

Yes. Please tell us. & maybe you can help me get out of this straightjacket?

 

BTW, amazing work. That's far in 3 years.

Avatar of rooperi

That's pretty good. Makes me feel a little inferior, lol

Avatar of waffllemaster

Well for one thing he played 150 tournaments in 3 years (roughly).  Even though it looked like mostly G/30 that's pretty amazing (to me anyway) and a lot of good practice.

Of course I'm sure there's no small amount of talent involved too.

Avatar of Scottrf

There can't be much talent if he was at a rating of 0.

Looks like after his provisional period (20 games) he got a rating of 1200.  After 1 year he was already 1960.

Well 150 tournaments in 3 years are a lot.
