Chess Improvement follows a Square Root Function!

This hardly seems amazing to me (whatever a square-root function may be).

Whats a square root function??? I suk @ math

It’s something that is square rooted in a calculator

It may follow a square root function initially but sadly it will drift towards a hyperbolic , asymptomatic, function where the asymptote is the level that you plateau at. And then as you get even older the slope dips below zero.
PAGING @ChessMathNerd !!!!!!!!!

What do you mean?

@AYUBALLENA What all this means is you get better at chess faster when you are just starting out. Your rating improves the quickest. To get from rating 2000 to 2100 takes MUCH longer than to get from 1000 to 1100. So this is good news for you.

Ye I know but how does it drift to a hyperbolic?

Because eventually you start to plateau. You start getting to a point that you can't pass no matter how much work you put in. You could still improve a little, always. But when you reach your plateau it starts to take incredible amounts of work for very small gains in improvement. Like the curve of a hyperbola, which you could google to see.

Soooooo noone looks at his actual rating graph .....
