He was an amazing coach. I wrote it about it in my eulogy on him here: https://www.chess.com/blog/EricYuhanLi/in-memory-of-daniel-naroditsky-a-teacher-beyond-the-board-1995-2025

Is it normal to get stuck at the same rating for months? I'm starting to get discouraged at this point. My ratings are basically stagnant at 600 in most categories.

I joined in June, 2017, and got 2900 in March 2025

So, 8 years and 9 months

Such nonsense, i feel like staying anonymous should remain an option, what did our least favourite world champ do to change this

How much time/study did you put into the game to reach 1800 (or something equivalent in OTB) on chess.com? and 2000? Do you think this can be done without study? What do I need to do/study/learn/be proficient in to achieve a rating of 1800? My ultimate goal in chess is to reach 2000 on chess.com, and if this cannot be done, I will be also happy at 1800.

Feel free to ask me anything... related to chess, life, ect.

Is this line any good for black against the London? I have tried using this but with limited success. Can't determine if its an opening or a skill issue.
