Since the site starts new people at p1200 instead of leaving them unrated, and experienced player will often come in, play a large number of lower-rated players (because higher rated players often refuse to play p1200 players), and then win a good number of games in a row.
Once your rating catches up to your true level, the streak will end.
It's nice to have a goal, but be forewarned that winning streaks are not at all uncommon for new people on the site.
In any event, good luck!

If I could tape a Post-It note to my OTB tournament board that said "Check all checks. Look for loose pieces. Check the books and database. Remember to wait until tomorrow if you're tired." my OTB rating would match my CC rating!

Or tattoo it on your opponent's forehead and don't bring a mirror:
- easier to read
- doesn't hurt that much
1.your opponent has arms the size of your legs
2.your opponent is a beautiful woman
3.you'd need to tattoo every opponent
4.your opponent is your spouse
