How does it take people so long? Or maybe It took me less time, I started playing in Feb 2024 with 900 elo (before that I only had some knowledge but never really played chess) and as of now 10 Aug 2024 I am 1600+
Can I do anything and reach absolutely anywhere if I start playing now as an 18 year old as a noob??pls tell me how and which direction I should work in if it's possible
Let me complete high school and college in just six years and also complete my graduation and get a degree in maths in idk how many years, then I'll devote my time to learn chess, learn new languages, go to the gym and improve nyself overall
I believe in you As a 1500 elo I advise you to do tactics Learn some openings you feel comfortable in And analyse you're games Good luck Reply to me when you leave the 500s mark
I played over 10k chess games in my life never played one puzzle with 1200 rating , getting better though but I do the puzzles and I have no idea what a opening is it the name I just try to make optimal moves and strategies protect my king and always trying to attack their king or a vulnerable queen , I think in game experience trial and error is way better maybe I’m wrong though.
Me 1. First year - 1000 Rapid 2. Second year - 1200 Rapid, 2000 + in puzzles. Did not learned theory or begining ... only Puzzles and games. 3. 2 years and 3 month . 1200 Rapid (but i think it 1250 - 1300 look on my oponents range in blitz), and my Blitz is 1060. And puzzles im reached 2100, but after few "quick" puzzles its near 2030.
