I hit 3000 blitz finally!!!!!
Also I hit exactly 3000, not higher during this game, against GM Mateusz Bartel. Played Andrew Hong, Aman Hambleton, Mikhail Antipov, some strong IMs, and even got to play Nepomniachtchi for the 2nd time on this try at 3000. Didn’t beat Nepo, but did get some decent (and lucky) KOs
This one was pretty funny. Ngl the games at this level are VERY sloppy, so it’s not like I had an immortal game or anything.
Probably my favorite game leading up to 3000. I consider Andrew Hong to be one of the most talented GMs for his rating and so getting to play him is an honor in itself, but I got good chances and was able to convert in this game. Again, very sloppy games, but that is just blitz for you
So…. I hit my peak of 2983 back in January this year and have been TRYING for the life of me to get 3000. And today, I did just that. Earlier this week, I hit 2970 and 2982 at some peaks but fell back down. On my way up to 3000, I beat some VERY strong players and had the run of my life, only for the game that got me the 3000 to be decided by such a dumb mouseslip. I was contemplating making a compilation of some of my games, but thought eh, I’m lazy. I’m going to take a break from blitz for a hot minute to enjoy my 3000
