Enjoy! 
EDIT: Chess college scholarships. Let your folks know that you're working hard for a reason. Convince them that a diamond membership is an absolute bargain (which it is) if you can get a scholarship. Do hundreds of tactics puzzles a day. Get your TT rating over 2000. It won't reflect your true rating yet but it's a great start...
Hi, I am a sophomore in hs hoping to be 2000+ by the end of junior year. I have been playing chess since kindergarten and stopped in 5th grade with an 870 rating. This past summer I have been practicing a lot on chess.com. I went to my first tourney since 5th gradr about 2 weeks ago and my rating went up to 1077 and I performed at 1211. I want to how and what I need to study in order to become 2000+. I've noticed that my opening repertoire is horrible however my tactics are decent. what shall I do?
