Can I reach 1500 online rapid by the end of the year?

@Post #68

I have put my Endgame study on hold for now.

I am currently working on a few new openings.

——————

I have been stuck on reaching 2200 rating.

I have never reached 2200 on any chess site, yet.

I think studying Endgames will help me finally break into 2200 range.

However, I have prolonging the study because I think it will be Embarrassing/Bad if I reach 2200 right now.

———————

I have reached 2100 and I have faced Title players, but I have never played Classical Chess.

I think it would be Embarrassing to reach 2200 and not know how to play 1…e5 or 1…d5.

————————

I think when a person reaches 2200 they become a chess role model and lower level players look up to those people and want to learn or get advice from them.

It would be pretty sad if I got 2200 and little kid was to walk up and ask me for advice in a Slav line and I had no response because I never played it before in my life. LOL

I have played KID & Gruenfeld for the majority of my chess career vs. 1.d4.

I have faced title players with those lines and they games are very sharp.

I lose more than I win vs. Title players, but the games are always wild and amazing.

But yeah I think I need to learn Classical chess.
