I got 1000 rating in August 2025, and I made my account in April 2025, when I miserably thought 1000 rating was unrealistic. I got even more sad because I tilted 200+ RATING once when my peak was 999 rating. And I'm now 1100+, going step by step. I think I should set up a goal of maybe... 1300-1400?

I think maybe 1500 Rapid and 1400 Blitz and 1200 Bullet i really wanna improve my thinking stuff bc im a avid blitz player but i also know the importance of playing rapid so i want 1500 rapid ik it feels a bit low considering the people in this thread

Most of the candidate master titles that are obtainable are from results in specific tournaments (particularly as a kid). Do you have any planned?

I’m glad we’re friendly on chesscom, mate, but this is simply not true. I’ve beaten people who are 1800 fide, and none of them were close to 2400 rapid. Normally I’d say the range is between 2150-2300 at the absolute tops.

To keep losing and learning, haha. Just chilling.

The essential objective will always remain to have the same pleasure in playing on a chessboard, whether in real life or virtually.

As Magnus Carlsen once famously said “sit at the chess board and play with yourself. It’s amazing”
