I've been working so hard to reach 1400, I reach 1395 in February and then drop to 1385 in a tournament a few weeks ago. I went to a tournament yesterday and reached 1397.... so close, and yet so far....

keep trying you'll make it. going back and studying the games you lost could be a crucial part in whether you reach 1400 or not..... find your mistakes and then find what move could have been better. you'll hit 1400 this way easily.

I'm flattered that you were "three points" away from caring. It means a lot to me 😉

RS-He's talking OTB

And I know what it's like to be knocking on 1400, after state championships, I am now 1399...and I have to wait for 3 months until the next rated tournament. Hopefully we can both go up that last little bit

I almost had the same problem. I have 1987 rating right now. It dropped to 1987 from 2000. Had it been 1999, I would still have enormous pressure of breaking the 2000-barrier.

Actually I am happy I have 1987 rating as it happens to be my year of birth too.

I just can't reach 1800, despite my recent perfomances...
