Get a good coach, try hard to get better, you can improve to master in 2 years, good luck Smile I improved from 1000 strength to 1800 strength in one year.

You can try going to Russia and learn chess there. The US has no chess future at all. Too much Burger King. You are promising, make the right decision and visit me and my beautiful dictatorship.
