Hey, Scott Adkins here. I started playing chess about 3 years ago, with the online chess boom, I few of my friends started playing and wanted me to try it, next thing you know I’m 2000 rated and my friends and family think I’m speaking a foreign language when I try to talk chess to them. Considering I started playing chess at a later age, I’m very proud of my progress, but I will work to keep climbing the ranks! My goals in 2026 are to reach 2300 rapid and blitz by next year and win an OTB tournament for the first time.

Edit: I have hit 2300 rapid on January 25th, 2026, a crazy month of growth for me that I’m very proud of. I also hit 2300 blitz on on March 19th, 2026. I am currently on a losing streak, however, and am looking to come back stronger! I will also play in my first USCF tournament in early April, and will look to achieve an NM title in the next few years.

Update: As of May 2026, I was able to climb back to 2300 rapid again, but am only 2100 blitz, will work on that in the future
