Anyone know any good sites to do unlimitted tactics?
Getting closer to 2000!!

This is a contraversial topic.
But essentially the pro-classical argument is that getting better and better blitz rating is like learning to solve one digit by one digit multiplication faster and faster but not moving onto any more complicated math problems. People who support classical time control as being the best way to improve chess argue that people who only play blitz are fundamentally limited to basic tactics, positions, and strategy and while blitz may test their ability, it doesn't really improve.
However, there are also people who believe blitz helps beginners more than classical chess. They argue that the key to improving in the begining stages is to see and recognize as many patterns and positions is possible, and blitz is far more effective at making this happen. They also argue that because blitz is generally considered to be more fun that beginners who study blitz are likely to spend more time studying. They also argue that any knowledge holes left by playing only blitz can be filled by a supplimentary study routine that include master game analysis and opening theory.
After years of threads on chess.com and tens of thousands of forum posts, neither side has really won.
When titled players chime in to conversations, about 1/6 of them say that blitz is better, 1/3 of them say classical is better, 1/4 of them say you need a little bit of both, and 1/4 say that it doesn't really matter because it is more important that you are dedicated to a specific study routine that you follow than the minuta of what exactly that study routine is.

I see what you guys are saying about blitz chess. I am going to play in my first tournament game in a couple months so I'll see if I am sufficiently prepared for longer time controls.
I'm going to have to disagree with xman720 in regard to his 1x1 multiplication table analogy for blitz chess. I personally think that blitz chess is very beneficial for positional play, tactics, and strategy. There is probably not as much calculating overall as standard play but I do find myself calculating a couple times every game at key positions. My tactis trainer has improved from around 700 to 1700 soley from practicing tactics in blitz games. Although you might not have as much time to consider all strategical options, blitz chess teaches you how to recognize and exploit thematic weaknesses that occur in different positions. At 5 minute time controls above the 1200 rating mark, it is very rare that "fast moves" and "good connection" is what wins the game. Games above this level are most often won and lost on strategy.

congrats OP! Improving is improving, and is a hell of a lot better than not improving. It feels good when you take up something challenging and it *clicks*. It gives us beginners some inspiration.

Do you not beleive me? What would I have to gain by cheating my way up to 1800? Whats to say I will keep improving? I might plateu tomorrow.

Congratulations catkeson.
I start playing chess three months ago and do not know what my true ELO is. Here in chess going from 1450 to 1500. I think it could improve if I could play live games, but my internet is very slow so or lose by time or because I get frustrated and end the game without thinking at all. That discourages me a little, but at least I can play daily chess, so is ok for now.
This last month I have been more interested and have read some articles, I see videos, etc ... I have no fixed goal, but I want to keep progressing :)

If you improve 1200 points in a year, you're effectively saying you're the most talented player on earth as a "humble brag."
It took me four years of serious study after ten years of recreational play to go from around 1400-2000, but hey you just tripled that.
Next year you'll be 2500 right? If not, why not?
Your time was back 30 years or so. Now is very easy to improve.
I started playing chess more regularly back 2 years ago. Playing only bullet for a year. Played 5-6k+ games or more. Before that i played only as kid very rarely knowing rules basic stuff like 30 games in a year. I started watching streams. Had one book from before. I was good in speed and overall board vision. Won many games at endgame. People just blunder a piece or lose on time. I notice in bullet people just play hope chess whole game. But i was only 1400-1500 at max. Continued to watch streams and started to play more blitz. That improved me, i was thinking more. Now from couple month premium member starting really to learn and to play more rapid but still bullet is in my veins. Now i am 1700+ at litz and i dont even know much openings or theory. I always ruin opponent game weird first moves, getting your opponent in unknown territory is the key they just can't figure what to do in short time control and i am good at overall positions. it worked on bullet and it works in 3 min blitz. Learning that and most endgame theory (classic stuff, pawns, rooks, etc.) will imrpove me and my goal is to reach 2 000+ in bullet blitz and rapid begining of next year. I already reached 2000 in tactics. I have to say that by a year or so i spent many hours a day online just watching streams/playing chess. Is not like 1-2 hours a day. But double-triple that some times. And as i said i feel i just know very little about chess. Just several patterns etc. But fast play made me here. I feel like i can improve a lot. So is not that unbelievable what he says.

If you're 1750 blitz now, you obviously didn't start chess a year ago. Maybe you started on this site a year ago, but not chess.
If you want to fool people you should make a better story.

I don't know why people like to rant the OP, he's probably playing/studying while you're posting here.
There's a lot of people that can more easily retain concepts, schemes, patterns, etc.
I can only congratulate you, it demonstrates that passion and consistency can lead to good results, because getting frustrated is quite easy in chess. I suppose you have sort of a "plan" that got you there, I mean, you started studying endgame, something like that in order to improve your weak points?

About a year ago I started playing chess. When I first started playing I was rated as low as 580 for blitz games. People told me I wouldn't be able to break 1200 but I stuck with my 2000 goal. This week I beat my first NM and am approaching the 1750-1800 range. Sorry to gloat but I am just very excited about improving and passionate about chess. Share with me your journey in chess and hit me up with any good advice for improving.
I believe you 100% because I seem to be at the other end of the spectrum. I have done the same thing in about a year. However, I have done it in standard online time controls.
I started playing chess for the first time last year around May I believe. I started with a ranking of 500. I really didn't know how the pieces moved or anything which is why I was so low.
On chess.com I am currently 1800 in standard and most other time controls except for bullet.
On lichess which is another chess site I am currently 2000 in standard and 1800 in other time controls except for bullet.
I do not approve of premoves so I have lost a lot in bullet with a won position with no time left simply because I didn't feel like playing premove crap.
I obviously have more to improve in my game. However, I do know it is possible to get to such heights very fast. Specially if you get really serious about chess.

Reach 2000 OTB in standard time controls, then you may have something worth bragging about.
reach 800 online on any time control and give advice after that

+100000
I don't find a raise in 1200 rating in bullet that speciall. Especially if other time modes are ignored.
Best players in slow time are better in fast time controls, we see this over and over again. You can go the opposite way but I don't think your chess ability will approve that much. Maybe seeing mates in 1 will be better.

That's very impresive man!
The internet is a huge gift for someone who wants to learn seriously, and what better way to learn chess. It is a lot of stuff hanging around, is a matter of taking it :)

Many players are stuck at 1200-1400 with 5k-20k games. And they cant go up. But the reallity is that most of the time they are better than players rated 1500-1700 with just few hundreds games. in many ways. But they just can't play them. Right now i can go and play unrated games vs 1200-1400 and i assure you that i will have more problems than playing vs 1600. I think many "strong" players want just to play vs lower rated, not to think much and when they grow their rating back they just losse 20-30 games in a row. I know people like this. And there are a lot of them with fake low rating just to play and win vs low rated. Dont know why the font is changed.
