 This week I beat my first NM and am approaching the 1750-1800 range! Its been a long journey from 580 blitz.  Hopefully I can make it to 2000 one day!  

Congratulations. Very impressive! I won't say you shouldn't play blitz, but your main focus should be 2000+ rating in slow/standard time controls.

You can post links to sites, but not give them free advertising.

Great job man you are great! I too am trying to reach 1600 asap. In slow games.

Great job anyways :)

I made it boys

Made what? Not a 2000 blitz rating. You got pretty close back in February but you stopped playing after your rating fell back to 1801.

I don't understand why you would post this now.

Notmtwain, look closely. The OP has two accounts. catkeson and chrisatkeson.

Yes, I finally noticed that and now I see that something weird is going on with his rating under the chrisatkeson user name:

Looks like his rating jumped 364 points the other day for beating a 485 rated player... 

Anybody else seeing massive ratings glitches like that?

Whoa that's messed up! 2000 rated my a** lol.

you do know that having 2 accounts in against the rules...

don't you?

Yes I am aware.  However I know a lot of players who have multiple accounts like chessbrahs and I don't think it is that big of a deal as long as I am not doing anything sketchy like playing myself.  I also had a good reason for creating a second account because this account was briefly deactivated.
