What are your goals for chess in 2019? Mine is to get to 1900 blitz, and am going to play 1 rapid game a day, and each month learn a different opening.

On top of that, 3 puzzle rush attempts a day. Think that should do it?

My goal is to buy $50 worth of bacon this weekend, and save $10 with a coupon a friend is giving me.  Now that's a true friend!

I like it. Gotta find a friend like yours. Also gotta find a new source for bacon: Walmart has reduced their packages of thick sliced bacon from 1 pound to 12 ounces. Who could be satisfied with 12 ounces of bacon??? Especially when the dog gets a slice.

I have to admit.  The one thing i am a snob about is bacon.  I quit buying that cheap, thin packaged crap over a year ago.  Now i get the really nice thick cut bacon from the butcher section.

To answer the OP, my chess goals for 2019 are simple: (1) continue learning and (2) eliminate stupid tactical blunders.

Ok...Ill answer the OP's question also then.  My chess goals for 2019 are:

1. Quit/Cut way back on playing MLB The Show 18.

2. Actually get back to studying chess.

3. Play in at least 3 tournaments.

I already hit my goal for 2018 on here: reach blitz 2050.  For 2019, I want it to be 2200.  At 2050, I wager I'm about 2200 USCF or close, and at 2200 I'd wager I'm a solid 2300 USCF or higher.

 

Are you the Daniel Jones who has some videos on youtube playing blitz?  if so, I enjoy them

Buy a 2000 dollars PC and Fritz 16 and latest Megadatabase.

Reach 1650 Blitz —- just reached 1400 threshold about 2 days ago and hanging in there

 

I saw a post where some guy went up 200 points from 1900 to 2100 something like that doing 100 hours of just tactics on chesstempo... so that’ll be my goal, doing a s**tload of tactics this year, and improving some openings

Exactly Pensak, when I do 3 puzzle rush attempts a day I’ll be getting 90 hours worth of tactics in by years end

2000 blitz...u gotta aim high

We shall see, getting to 2000 would be a huge leap though

My goal is to stay awake while I am losing.
