1. To 1600, I did a lot of Tactics training.
2. I dont know about college chess club, but I play in a chess club and they are rated 1600-1900 FIDE. So the rating here is not that different, maybe 100 points.
3. 1050 in 3 weeks, is ok, I know people with that rating playing for years.
4. If not chess? Man, dont even say that!!!
How much practice does it take for 1600?
What rating would be comparable to someone in a college chess club?
Is my rating decent for only knowing how to play chess for 3 weeks?
If not Chess, what would you spend 10-15 hours a week doing?
