I found cracking 1600 to be the hardest level on CTS. One tip that helped me alot was taping an index card on your screen covering your rating. Congrats on your progress!

That is a superb suggestion. I'm going to do it right now.

I you think that it would help your rating(on this site) I will play you once I get an open game.

Is that because you resigned all your games?

huh... i once asked on the cts messageboard if anyone knew of a script to hide the rating, to no reply. never considered the low tech option - genius!

I would actually rather see the questions rating hidden rather than my own, though both is preferable.

Good point about the questions rating. I can't help looking at it and if the question has a low rating I look for an easy tactic!

An even faster method is to write your desired rating on the index card before you tape it over your rating.
