The value of this goal depends on how strong and experienced you are already.
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.

...[text shortened]... winning streaks are not at all uncommon for new people on the site.
In any event, good luck!
Indeed, I am probably over rated at 1700 but won my first 36 games! I thought for a while I was invincible🙂
I know that resistance may be different. but my second match was a quite strong opponent i think. I may continue to struggle and maybe someday I can meet you hehehehe!
May God be with you my son!

That we tend to get overrated here is also another good point. I look at my rating on the site and laugh! Higher rated players don't lose on time as much OTB!
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!

Notes other than moves made in a game are not allowed. 😕 😉
Retire now before you get beaten. You account remains open. In 20 years time you can claim you haven't been beaten on RHP for 20 years. I've put an alarm in my phone for 27th September 2031 to come back and check.
Originally posted by tvochess Or tattoo it on your opponent's forehead and don't bring a mirror:
- easier to read
- doesn't hurt that much
That was my original thought.I discarded it for four reasons.
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
My game so far 8-0 my goal is 20-0.
