Yeah! I reached my highest FICS rating today. It is blitz rating, I mostly play 5 min games. Previously it was 1246, now it's 1259. I couldn't go above 1246 for about half a year 🙂
How do you improve in 5 to 10 min games?

Only last year our hawks team moved up to 1st division. Then the team could attract some strong players. I used to play for the hawks before they moved up 🙂

At the moment I play board 1 (sometimes 2) of ravens team, which gives you an indication of the team's strength 🙂
In general I like the club, the people are really nice. But there is not much of a strong bond between the hawks and ravens teams. It is not often that both teams gather for usual club nights to have a good time and maybe exchange experience and knowledge.
Do you live in Northern Ireland?

On FICS this quite often simply has to do with some simple mouse operator errors 😕 But don't you love that announcement message? You have achieved your highest rating so far. It makes you feel like such a genius... you must be better than ever before!
