What`s my story

Time to get my chess S%$£ together

So what is possible for a nearly 57 year old.
This is my experiment.
My ratings at the moment are:

  • Lichess 15:10 =1388
  • Lichess Classical=1568
  • Lichess Blitz=1184
  • Chess.com rapid=1234
  • Chess.com blitz=766
  • Ecf 1359

My training has been pretty haphazard way too much blitz and little structure.
Tomorrow 11th February, it is all going to change.
Plan for the week
