That's right, thanks to one opening book, one tactics book and an hour and a half per diem I am getting better. Hopefully I keep going, but I discovered yesterday night that I would be happy with my age x100 being my rating. E.g. 18 yrs, 1800+
Myself, I stopped playing for a few years and now find myself significantly below the projected 4,500.

days lived / 365 = rating x 100
and given that my current rating is also my year of birth, I would call that pretty odd situation.

Originally posted by prosoccerI would be happy with a rating of 3600, too. Might be a little unrealistic, though.

Prosoccer, what books are you reading and do you play OTB chess? I'm a very keen and improving player myself! I found the Alexander Kotov books great help and the Dvoretsky endgame manual dvd helpful too. I have just purchased Squares Strategy by Bangiev and those are pretty instructive as well.
