Recently, I have experienced an incredible jump in my blitz rating.
I was rated 782 on December 5th, and today I am rated 1075. That is a rating increase of 293 points.
I was so impressed with this achievement that I began to analyze how impressive it is. I was of the opinion that my increase from 782 to 1075 (293 points), is equally as impressive as a GM going from 2500 to 2793 (Also 293 points). But then I got thinking, my rating jump is arguably more impressive since I am a beginner. It is easier for a GM to improve because he is already an expert.
How impressive is my rating jump in reality, and how does it compare to a GM jumping in rating by the same amount?
Thank you for your input in advance.
false it is hard to get a big jump when you are a gm since the players are SO GOOD
With all due respect to the OP, I just find it hard to believe that this thread isn't a troll. If it isn't, my apologies.
The respect is certainly due and your apology is accepted. I try not to hold any grudges, so, I wish you all the best with your Chess.
