Go to:

chess.emrald.net and practice some tactics. I can help you with some other stuff I guess, but tactics will get you to 2000.
Thank you.

Maybe not bare bones tactics, but tactics with a little endgame, opening, and strategic knowledge will get you to 2000, sure.

And yeah, 50 grand - it sucks, but I'm not about to burn their house down.

BTW en prise does not mean under attack. It means hanging. Whatever, it sounds cool 🙂 (Pronounciation: aan pree) the a sounds like the a in "car" and the e sounds like the e in "spew"😉

Not quite so well, actually. The French word 'prise' is pronounced like 'preeze' (more or less!).
