Hi, a few of my friends might already know, but I need more people to help so I'm going to post about this to get as many ppl as possible. Basically, I'm in an insane tilt and subject to an insane goal. Either one may not be so bad, but the two combined is crazy and creates a crisis. My parents expect me to reach 1200 rapid chess.com in 5 days, specifically, with a due date of Sunday or Monday. If I fail to reach that goal, I will close my account bc I won't have any time for chess.com anyways (if I fail the goal I gotta do USACO so yea no time). Now, most of you might already be like "that's impossible, forget it", but I think otherwise. No matter how seemingly impossible, maybe there's a chance. Anyone with an elo over 1000, preferably 1200+, can help. Just drop a comment below.

Please note that I'm not a complete beginner. I know all the rules, en passant, castling, forks, skewers, pins, discovered attacks, ...etc. However I lack in opening knowledge (currently playing london exclusively as white and random, poor openings as black), and even more so in middlegame plans. I simply do not have a plan and play according to my opponent, mainly defending against opponent's attacks or trying crude, obvious attacks. I struggle to develop any complicated or multiple-step plans. 

I will greatly appreciate any help. Thanks for the support as always, have a great day!

(note that this is a repost of my blog, bc that one didn't work so I hope this one will)

Stockfish is your best help. Nobody wants you to leave, as well.

Hm, I think a black opening you should try out, so the Carokann, or Pirc defense

I'm telling him to not close his account and get to 1200 rating easily. It's all about perspective.

lost some 100 games on caro-kann, I won't play that again. Also I need more help with middlegame.

I don’t think I would be suitable, because I’m someone who cares about position too much

Before castling on the kingside, try to make a fianchetto

Oh yeah

Hm, maybe try to read the entire board (aka looking at the board, and seeing what pieces are developed), then, think of a move, and try to calculate. If not, try to develop a piece, or make a pawn storm

Avatar of Forsaken

Try to make aggressive attacks

I guess I could, though I'm not much of a teacher. Maybe find a GM or 2000+

They holy cost so much money nobody can possibly pay for it. And unfortunately even though I do have quite a bit of 2000+ friends, they all refuse to help me, bc (quote and quote it's just so outrighted shocking) "They suck at chess".
