I will be on Kolocep Island from 20 July until 3 August 2020, in front of Dubrovnik.

I am a Parisian chess player who did one year OTB many years ago, at the chess club of Issy-les-Moulineaux. I got estimated ELO 1600 but stayed practically in the 1450-1550 zone.

I subscribed to chess.com in July 2019 after discovering the possibility to play Rapid, completely new for me.

I began playing 60 min games, which seems to be the best rhythm for me. I may possibly try 45|45 games.

A chess player met at the Jardin du Luxembourg introduced me to Daily Games. I played Thematic Tournaments, club matches, and decided from now on to challenge my friends in 3-day games, limiting myself to 10 simultaneous games maximum.

I discovered Tactics with another website. On chess.com I reached 1813 and then went down.

My goal is to be able to participate in a few months in a Rapid Tournament OTB, in Paris, France, or around Paris, COVID-19 permitting, 30 min or possibly 60 min, and reach an ELO > 1600.

I am an absolute zero in Blitz... and have no time for it right now.

However I deem it reasonable to hope to get a 1300 Blitz rating before the end of the year.

My Daily rating is today 1645 and I hope to reach 1800 before the end of 2020.

My Daily strategy is: no more than 10 simultaneous games (3-day) with 1600-1800 rated opponents.

My Tactics goal is 1800 as well.

I am trying to very much focus on Endgames.

Do not hesitate to challenge me in 3-day games if you are 1600-1800 rated.
