Day 98

Today I played 1 game which I won. I also did 6 tactical puzzles.

Also, I watched chess content and revised my caro kann. I have a tournament coming on 1st December, which is 10 mins plus 5 secs. It is FIDE rated.

i dont want to be that guy OP, but are you really sure you can reach 2200? some people fluctuate at 2000-2200 for years. im sure you will reach 2000 but i dont know about 2200. my chess coach played chess since 8 and his FIDE rating is 2000 and he is only 2150 and 2190 peak on chesscom rapid. good luck

Hello everyone, I am back on the grind. For the past few months I have been busy and inconsistent.

For the past few days I have been preparing for a classical tournament otb with 90 mins time control with 5 rounds. I will play in the open section where there are many good players, including 10 titled players.

I did tactics, played 6 rapid games(won 4 nicely), will practice from a chess book and have a chess session with my new coach who is helping me prepare for the tournament. I now stand at 2018 rapid, just 11 points away from my peak. See you tomorrow!

exactly 101 days to June 1st 2025, I will get 2200 rapid. This is the final deadline. Failure is not an option.

Past 7 days, played a classical tourney of 5 rounds with a FIDE perf rating of 1686.

Played tons of chess and worked on openings and tactics. I have decided to play one 15 plus 10 game daily to improve.

DCthedestroyer

Hello

94 days left. I have done tactics and played one 15 plus 10 game. Which I will do daily from now onwards. Here is my game(I drew a 2187) I was black here.

I am currently going over reassess your chess by Silman, I completed 6 pages yesterday. I am playing 15 plus 10 to amplify my positional and calculation skills.

Hello everyone!!!!

Today I tied for my highest rating ever(2029). I have noticed that in most games that I have lost or drawn, I was winning. This shows that my skill may be at 2100 level, but time management is at 1400 level. I am working to improve that.

Ima cook this challenge

I got nothing against the guy who posted this, he/she is entitled to their own opinion. However, I will prove them wrong and will win
