Hate to break it to ya, but if you're still a 1200 player at age 33, the odds of major improvement aren't great. Sorry.
Not that its any of your concern,but.
I learned how to play chess when i was 7 from my dad, but only ever played my brother and as friend, i picked it up again when i was 18 after a friend told me he could play.I stopped again a year later, and only started again when i joined this site (you're the genius, so i don't need to tell you when that was)
I was never part of a chess club, and can count my OTB opponents on 6 fingers (that'll narrow it down for you). I think i'm doing pretty well, thank you very much .
😴 now crawl back into your hole and play with your bishop 😴
