Hi guys, I'm new to chess, I've always thought it was a boring game but now that I'm getting into it I'm liking it a lot. I've started one month ago from 748 and I've reached 1101 elo in Rapid. I've searched on the web to get some stats on beginners' elo but I've not found replies to my answers. So my question is if my progression is good or not and if you have some advice on places where you can study chess.
And sorry for my rusty english :D
Nose
I can help you
350 points in a month is a lot but this is normal if you're just getting started and putting in some work. It will get harder once you get stronger obviously, Otherwise you'd be the best player in the world in a few months :D
Your first priority should be to avoid blunders.
Second priority is tactics.
With those 2 alone you can get far above 1500.
From my experience it takes about twice as much effort to improve the same amount of rating. If you put in more effort you will improve faster. Good things to do are playing lots of puzzles, reviewing your own games (without engine first), and studying endgames. I also recommend watching GothamChess.
Not sure why it should matter whether your progression is "good" or not.
Thanks everyone for the answers
@MrPushwood A bit toxic, why it shouldn't matter if my progression is "good" or not?
You're the one being "toxic" (if indeed anyone is). As long as you progress, why should you concern yourself with the rates of others?
