![]() ![]() If you really feel you can then keep reaching for the rainbow, I am not trying to be a troll. But first I would suggest you try to set a realistic goal like becoming a strong expert, then aim for higher.Īnd don't let anyone tell you you can't :)īlood, I am 1820, you are 1679 - do you think either of us has master potential? Have you ever played against a master, watched one of them play live or read their analysis? Having done all of those I am confident, not happy about it but still certain, that I will never be a master. I know I can get to 1850 which is my next goal and I will put the time and get there. Also tactics alone will improve your positional play once you start seeing patterns which make tactics possible positional patterns that you can create to put your opponent in hot water due to tactical hits or ones you need to avoid in order not to allow your opponent tactical shots.īottom line: it's feasible, you can probably do it with a lot of work. Positional play can be learned way easier with a master level instructor. Tactics is key because it is hard to improve but it is also a very solid knowledge once gained. (there are FMs on the site who have similar - maybe slightly higher - tactic's ratings). ![]() ![]() I will suggest you go on (free acount) and do the tactics problems till your rating there soars over 2000 blitz and over 2100 standard time controls. As a class A you need to have mastered all the basic positional and opening principles and start getting good at one or two particular openings with both black and white. From what I have read, the key to hitting 2000 or boarderline class A expert is tactics and tactics alone. Now I play a 1900 player and it feels like playing a 1600 player a year ago when I was rated 1400. So I put 250 hours of tactic training over a few months and I came back to see my rating soar to over 1600 and eventually over 1700. When I was at 1400 I knew I could get at 1600 but at that time they were kicking my ass. Chess mentor has on here has helped with opening principles, positional play and some endgame theory appropriate for my level. I have to credit 's tactic training for the most part. i have taken down a few experts and many class A players. I started playing at 1400 and worked my way up to 1700. I have improved 300 points over about 14 months. If you really had the potential to be a 2500+ player you would almost certainly know by now.Īnd no matter how you put it, to say my statement had no value is always going to be insulting. What you do have is the capacity to play the game, enjoy it and see how much you improve naturally. Can you think 5 or more moves deep in your head and still assess positionally what is happening? Do you know standard endgame positions inside-out? Do you have a deep knowledge of openings and the theories behind those openings? Taking aside the basic fact that I do not think you appreciate how many levels of improvement you would have to punch through, let us look again instead at what you would require to be able to do. The difference between an 1850 and a 2000 is usually quite profound, as is the jump from 2000 to 2200 and so on. Also there are many stages of chess ability. Computer sites have over-inflated rating values - to be 1850 on one does not make you 1850 in the real chess world. Sorry, i do not want to insult you, but your statement has no value. ![]()
