In January I broke the 1700-barrier.
Jeez, now I'm over 1800 !!!
Then I thought my visit in the 1700 area was only temporary, but I wasn't. Well 1800 is probably the highest I can get, ever.
However, the last 25 points was due to unexpected time outs...

Keep working on it, 100 points at a time till you get to 2100 then take it in 50s.
As long as you continue to identify your mistakes and rectify them there is noting to stop you reaching previously undreamt of heights.
Originally posted by FabianFnasCongratulations on this fine achievement. Timeouts or no timeouts, 1800 is not an easy level to reach. I wish you success in reaching 1900 soon!

Originally posted by chesskid001Tahnk you but I don't it will take some times until I get to 1900, if I ever will get to this next magical level. Even to aim for 1850 is hard. No, I think there will be a lot of downhill from here.

But still - I'm here, among the big boys and girls. It feels nice indeed.
What's my secret? Is it a secret?
Time outs, of course. Those games I'm not particular proud of, but still, to keep track of ones thinking time is a part of the game, perhaps I'm better with that than my opponents.
But perhaps I am better with my blunder checks? I think that if you take more time in each move to perform a blunder check, then 100 you can get another rating points, quite easy.
But still, perhaps I'm better than before... Yes, I read chess books, perhaps they are doing some good for me. But I do want to thank my membership in the "Personal Chess Training" club. My mentor there is doing a good job, thank you!
And I cannot forget to send some thoughts to my friends at my locaal chess club. They inspire me a lot.
A lot of perhaps but still, from here on it's downhill. Some day I will permanently stay above 1800. This will be the day. I'm happy if I'll remain 1700+.
Originally posted by FabianFnasYou hit 1800. Timeouts or not, you still had to be close to cross the threshold, and that is no easy task. I hope to be joining you soon. 🙂

It could not have happened to a nicer player.
