Hello All,
Just want to write about the success of joining chess.com 1st Jan 2021 to reaching 2000 in Blitz, Rapid and Bullet all within 3 1/2 years and couple of more months ;)
i joined this site in 2021 knowing basics of chess, how to move pieces and to not get checkmated while trying to checkmate the opponent. I Joined a local chess club in Jan 2022 and just improved ever since. I remember struggling to stay in 1600's in rapid in 2021/22 but i set myself the following goals... 1600 rapid, then play Blitz to 1600, followed by bullet. Once these milestones have been achieved to then go 1700 all modes rinse and repeat to 2000. i didnt think i would of reached 2000 this year in all 3 modes let alone just 1.
My advice for anyone trying to improve is to perhaps set yourself the same goals on the exception *bullet will create bad habits* analysis and learn some openings but most of all study and learn your end game principles. Their is no point being fantastic in openings if you dont know how to finish...'thats what she said'
🆒 I also achieved it today.Now I am 2000+ elo at Rapid, Blitz &Bullet. :) My account is 2.25 years old at this moment with 7k+ rated games played.
Congratulations!

Bullet is useful for the time management(only thing it's good for) unfortunately it can hurt lol
