Great post. I appreciate you sharing your experience. It’s encouraging that your persistence paid off.
I will remember that.
1100-1200 for 8 years
Year ago, my blitz plateau was stuck in the mediocre 1700s range. I struggled to get above that into the 1800s. Persistence, time and study were the only thing that pulled me through that awful slump. Now I am steady in the 1900s, whilst occasionally peaking right at or slightly above 2000. And then I feel the strength change right then and there of my opponents. I can usually get to at least an equalish position or sometimes even better against 2000s, but they are almost always quicker than me and I will end up losing on time... and then my rating drops below and into the 1900s again and into that vicious cycle. The struggle is real my nerdy friends.
So I ask, what's your plateau? How long have you been stuck there? How many Have you overcome? These things are the most frustrating obstacles in Chess to overcome. I'm sure you agree.
