I FINALLY HIT 3K PUZZLES AFTER 300 HOURS OF DOING PUZZLES (also a few tips to help you)

HOW I DID IT:

1. Always make sure to calculate as much as possible and that all the variations work.

2. Don't just keep skipping puzzles until you get easy ones because it won't help you improve and it will slow down your progress. Puzzle rating comes naturally as you get better at calculating and do more puzzles.

3. GRIND. Do a set amount of puzzles everyday (a few more or less is fine) and make sure to do them. You can skip it on certain occasions but make sure to do extra later.

 

Thank you to everyone who helped me with chess. Don't worry, another post is coming when I hit 2k rapid! wink.png

Great, now trust me after first hitting 3k your probably going to tilt but after a while your rating stabilizes back so no problems.
