No lol. All he needs to do right now is know opening principles and look at hanging pieces and tactics.

If his goal is to become a life long 1000 online player, then he is correct in what he posted.

Ah, alright.
I used to be around 700 a few months ago, not I’m almost 1550 Rapid. I recommend doing a lot of puzzles. If you don’t have diamond membership, then I recommend doing puzzles on Lichess, you get unlimited amount for free. On top of that, I recommend learning a few good openings and tricks and getting good with it. I remember, my rating exploded once I learned openings and tricks like the Vienna and Traxler.

@CandyXXV that’s an amazing burst of progress. You have almost 1700 games.
How many games did it take for your “speed run” and what time controls are you playing
Thank-you

Sorry for the late reply just started getting into chess again. I really don't know how many games it took me, but I really just played whenever I had the time and didn't have anything else to do. The main time control I played was 10 minute games, and I always analyzed the games afterwards with the free self-analysis tool. You really start building on the knowledge and start recognizing more patterns as you do this, and since I always played the same opening, I slowly learned all the tricks and responses to what my opponents would play against me in the opening.
