Hitting 1000 Elo in 7 Months
What about it?
I never really use Reddit, but no one in my life would understand this news.
I started up my chess.com account on January 6 of this year. It at first classified me as a 900, but I quickly lost my way down to 300. I had never really played before, besides playing with family from time to time around the holidays. Chess was fun to me, but I never really loved it - that is until I started to play online. I was hooked immediately. I was intoxicated with wanting to improve.
My initial goal was to be a 1000 rated player by December of this year. Through all the ups and downs and many many games later, I hit my goal 6 months sooner than I set out to.
I’m not trying to brag or toot my own horn, just wanted to share with a community that would care about my accomplishment.
