Hi! Nice improvement! I started chess 1 year ago, on November I can't remember the exact date. The only reason I started playing chess was to be able to beat my brothers, and a couple weeks later I was already joining and even winning tournaments. My older brother plays a lot of chess, and he taught me the basics! Then I joined this site, and joined a local chess club. Of course I bought premium membership in this site! As a matter of fact, I have a chess tournament coming up in 2 weeks! Very excited! Well, that's all my story. Good luck!

Hi Thomas, Great to see your progress! It’s awesome how you’ve combined learning from classes, books, and clubs to improve so much in just two years. The Improvers club sounds like a fantastic resource. Keep up the hard work, and I’m sure you’ll hit 1000 ELO soon. Best of luck with your chess journey! My younger sister recently struggled to complete a detailed essay for her history class. I found https://oxessays.com/ OxEssays for her, and the results were incredible. They provided a well-researched, properly formatted essay that met all her professor’s requirements. The service was seamless, and her positive feedback from her professor boosted her morale. I’m glad I could find such dependable help for her.

Hello there chess.com users!
My name is Thomas, and I've been playing chess for about 2 years.
I first started playing chess when I joined a chess class that used chess.com as their training site. Back then, my rating was about 300. After that class, it rose to about 600-650. Then I took another class AND read a lot of chess books. My rating went up to 750. After that, I got Premium. Then it rose to 850, sometimes even 950, but I often tipped it back down to 790, 800. Then I went to Vienna, where I joined two in-person chess clubs. It was just at that time where I joined the Improvers club. I posted ONE question, and in like 2 days, there were already 20 helpful replies. Since then, my rapid rating has only gone up. If you need a higher rating, join this club. That was the best decision I ever made in my life. In a few months time, I hope to hit 1000 ELO. But until then, happy chess games and thank you for reading my post!!
Many thanks,
