I simply want to stay above 1800 USCF past my 70th birthday.
That would be impressive. A few people I've known for years have been floored at 1800, both over 70.
It's mostly energy right?
One "trick" is to use byes judiciously. No sense in playing 12 hours a day and facing some 12 year old in the last round.

My floor is 1700 and I always take a 3rd round bye in weekend Swiss events. I can win an event with 4.5 when things go well as I did three weeks ago.

i want 700 USCF
I play in three-round tournaments every week, and I repeatedly get three wins, so I don't think this is too out of the question

I have ups and downs. Went down 23 points after a tournament in February, but gained back 46 in May.
My goal is to get to 800 before July 12 2023
