Enough said, really. Slightly embarrassing game to get it done, as I got a winning position then immediately blundered, only for my opponent to resign as he was tilted 😅

I’m really pleased - this is my peak rating, and I’m hoping to increase it more over the coming weeks - but just wanted to share as 60,000 people really isn’t that many on a platform with tens of millions.

congratulations 🎊

Ha! Kind words, but I think I started taking chess seriously a little late to ever become a master. A guy can dream, I suppose

anyone can become a chess master .Serious study matters more than age: The key factor in improvement isn't how old you are, but the quality and consistency of your study. Focusing on fundamentals, analyzing your own games deeply, and consistent practice is how progress is made.

I commend the effort into baiting a player higher rated than you to give you a game 😂

I think there’s also a very significant developmental factor. A chess brain is wired in a certain way, a little bit like learning languages. It’s academically proven that it’s easier to learn a language as a child, while your brain still is moulding itself etc. it’s technically possible to learn a language as an adult, but it’s so much harder. With chess, I think it’s much the same: almost all masters were already masters or close to it by the time they finished puberty (I.e. the most a brain changes since being a toddler). I am going to continue trying to be the best chess player I can, but I doubt I’ll ever make the jump to any title

Congratulations! Climbing new highs always feels nice. I'll try to make to top 10k

I "broke" into top 12000 blitz in chess.com lol

Avatar of ChessAceFTW

And my alt is still struggling to get into top 1000 rapid. Still the ranking is more than 1000, but less than 2000.

False alarm, everyone! I lost some games and now I’m back out of it lol

Congrats on breaking into the top 70k

So I would also have sent a false alarm if my alt once broke into top 1000 rapid and went out of it pretty fast

I was up to 48th place, at one point.
