Dear moderator, if you wish to remove part of my statement because it was insulting to a large group of people, then do so. But please do not falsely insert that it was "political commentary." It was not "commentary," it was an insult to the intellect of a group of people. If you wish to correct someone, kindly be objective and correct yourself.

Would you prefer I use the term "political insult"?  I can change it...

sorry to disappoint you man, but i went from 0 to 1550 in one day in an actual tournament, I was unrated at the start of it. Suck on that!

Indeed I would, thank you.

In my first 8 games I went from unrated to 1741.

Done.  There is an Open Discussion group where you can talk politics if you want, BTW.

Guys, good news. I just beat an 1100 twice! 

Here's one of the games

That was actually a really cool game, tbh

Mainly because you had 2 queens on the board for more than half the game

Could have I checkmated him earlier you think?

Cherub_Enjel

Thanks dude! Have you any tips regarding the game I just posted. Would love to hear some expertise on the subject.

No, everything was absolutely perfect! I will send it to Magnus Carlsen so he can learn a couple of things.

Seriously though, at what move after getting the queen would you have been able to checkmate him?

Pashak, I might be Magnus Carlsen in disguise...

Nah, you are way better than him. You can actually see mates in 3.

You should have played 18. Bxf3, bringing another piece into the attack. You've got to activate your men so they can join in the king hunt.

I totally missed that one, thanks Urk.

Yes, your improvement is good but some my students got comparable increase in ratings. At lower base such jump is surely possible. Even at rating levels of say 1500-1800 some students jump by 200 points in no time. Actually rating never increases in linear fashion but you remain stuck at certain level for a couple of months ( known as plateau of learning ) and then suddenly get big increase in very little time.
