Your progress since December is excellent and you have a love for the game. Are you just playing a lot and analyzing games or have a special study method? I also started in December. Do you just play online or doing local chess club tournaments? Enjoy the journey
nope, just casual online chess, its not that serious enough for chess clubs.

Lol

Based on your goals, I'd encourage playing some casual OTB games at your local club! I guarantee you'd win a lot of games and have a lot of fun :)

Hello everyone, You um... Probably have seen me somewhere right?.. Yeah, maybe- yes, bcuz i was in the top 3 studies for a while.. Well, as you might know, i've joined lichess 9 months ago, And through this journey, I have met different kinds of people. The good ones who give me advice, the ones who chat and chill, and the ones-- that make me think im not worthy of playing. So,i made this forum for all those who never believed in me.. Hope you're in for a short story..

December 24, Eve of Christmas and the day that changed my passion. I got really interested into this game called "chess"
and at the moment i didnt know anything about it and then went from that to knowing over 65% of it right now. I made an account in this website called Lichess. At first, it was all new-- On Christmas i played my first game of chess with a stranger, wasnt too good as i remember it. Days went through, made my first acheivement, went from 900 to 1100 elo! I was soo happy that time, later on i got addicted, played it 24/7 and people started losing hope in me as i would just struggle myself just to lose games instead of winning them. I brang it down a littile, Later 1200, 1300, and finally-- 1400! The most recent achievement i achieved.

To all the people who just discouraged me by telling that i would never reach this milestone, all i have to say is... You can always achieve your dreams, if you believe in yourself. My goal is to reach 2000- then a GM And nobody will stop me no matter what. Sorry for writing an entire essay, just wanted to express some feelings.. Peace out ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄

Well, I started playing chess 4 years ago, before signing in Lichess (That was somewhere in July) I didn't even know what are ranking points in chess. I only have ≈700 ELO on Lichess (I'm still stuck in beginners/intermediate).

I know it's stressful.. I went through that too when i started playing on lichess. Went from 1500? To 885 which is my lowest rating.. Still i didnt give up, i played and played and played, and now 1456 ( My current rating! :) Just beleive in yourself and you can achieve anything in life! :D
