Hey everyone, I'm currently at around 1k ELO and I've decided to set myself a pretty ambitious goal hitting 2k in 6 months. I know that's a massive jump and honestly I'm not even sure it's possible but I've committed to it and there's no backing out now.

My plan is pretty simple. Daily tactics every single day without exception, analyzing every game I play win or lose instead of just forgetting about it and queuing the next one, and rapid only from now on. I've been playing a lot of blitz and I think it's been genuinely hurting me because I just move on instinct instead of actually thinking. So that's done.

I'm also focusing heavily on my endgame because it is genuinely awful. I can't count how many times I've had a completely winning position and then slowly let it slip away because I had no idea what I was doing with just kings and pawns left. That stops now. Openings I'm keeping simple I don't want to spend hours memorizing theory, I just want to understand why the moves are being played.

I just want to see how far I can actually push myself if I'm being real about it. 2k in 6 months is the target and I'm locking in.

Now for the stakes if I don't hit 2k in 6 months I'm getting a chess piece tattooed on me. Not a threat, not a joke. It's happening if I fail. So yeah I'm pretty motivated 😭

I'll be posting honest weekly updates regardless of how it's going, good or bad.

Wish me luck, I'm going to need every bit of it 🙏

I'm currently at 1000+ ELO and I've decided to set myself a real challenge hitting 2000 in 6 months. I know that's a massive jump and most people will say it's not realistic, but I want to try and document the whole journey here.

My plan is to study tactics every single day, analyze every game I play win or lose, and only play rapid so I'm actually taking my time and thinking properly instead of just moving on instinct.

I'm not following some crazy complicated system, just consistent daily work and being honest with myself about my mistakes. No excuses.

Will be posting weekly updates with my progress. If you've made a big rating jump before I'd love to hear how you did it. Wish me luck 🙏
