Just hit 1000

What about it?

I just hit 1000 elo after a 95% acc game, I hadn't been so nervous in a while. I started playing chees in january with the goal of reaching 4 digits elo, so yeah... it took a while. What would be a realistic goal for the end of the year? Maybe 1200?

What about it?

It’s happened a couple times and I usually end up losing several pieces before I can stop the attack. I tried going to g6 but they move to qe5 and have a field day with at least a rook and two pawns.
