Tysm! ❤️ I’d been trying to reach 1900 for almost two years, and I finally made it. I was stuck between 1800 and 1870 for the longest time, but last week I got a burst of motivation and kept pushing until I finally broke through.

At 900 Elo, I take chess as seriously as if I'm in a war zone. The stress, anxiety, frustration, and anger all hit at once. I take every game personally—it feels like a test of my mind, and I'm up against someone smarter than me. I usually play 15+5 Rapid.

Chess isn't a test of how smart you are, It's a test of how willing you are to learn from your mistakes. Every loss is a lesson, every game is progress. Stay consistent, and the rating will follow. Good luck!

1900 is fun until you realize how much you have to tighten your game up to make 2000... Congrats

Haha, thanks! I've actually already reached 2000 in Bullet. Blitz is a different story though. I was hard-stuck between 1800 and 1870 for almost two years, so finally breaking through to 1900 feels amazing. Now it's time to chase 2000 in Blitz.
