2 year anniversary from my first match

Sort:

Sep 4, 2025

I had played chess a handful of times throughout my life with friends and family but really didn’t know what I was doing. While I still don’t know what I’m doing, this has been a really fun hobby. Finally broke 1800 this week and hoping to get to 2000 by the third anniversary. I should be rated a lot higher based on the number of games I’ve played (now over 10,000)! But I’m a kinesthetic learner (a slow one, at that). Thanks to a great community that challenges me every day.
