How I improved my rating from 1000 to 1500+ in 12 months

And also don’t listen to these guys, you are simply sharing your journey to a considerably high rating. And teaching people who are struggling on how to reach your rating

Of course in theory you have much to learn yourself. But there is nothing wrong in sharing what you’ve learned so far.

Lots of similar hoax posts like this in the forums. I just read somewhere 280 total beginners to rated 2150 in just 2 years..

Catching your opponents underprepared with opening traps and tricks is an effective way to negate and compensate for differences in skill and calculation. Until you get to a higher level where your opponents are not only aware of those traps but they are also much more skilled than you in calculation. A better long-term approach would be to actually learn how to play the game at some point.
