took me a couple of months but FINNALY
I GOT 1000 ELO IN CHESS AND IM 10 YEARS OLD!
i am 73 years old and rated 400 in blitz. At ten i went outside and fished,hunted and trapped. these were far more important than some number on a chess site. Job well done if that is important to you.

Ok boomer. We will all be sure to listen to the 73 year old trying to kill the joy of a 10 year old.
That's okay, I guess... When I was 9 I think (I'm now 12) I had around 1200-1300 elo (on a different account I've closed now), so I wouldn't say that that's too impressive or anything, but if you only just started chess, then that's decent! I started at like 7. Now I am around 1600/1700s elo chess.com and 2100s lichess.
If you don't take any coaching or anything, then that's actually pretty good, for someone who only plays for pure fun and doesn't take lessons.

You can do both. Crazy times.
You can, but you would surprised at how few kids get outside these days.

Actually, going outside and playing is more important than playing chess.
your american so the only place you have been to outside was mcdonalds
