995 ELO improvement in a bit more than a year

That's really impressive. My ambition is to improve as quickly as you.

I started playing chess over 3 months ago. My day 1 rapid rating was 892, now it's 1804. So I improved by 912 rating points in 100+ days. It's getting harder now, but I hope that in less than 1 year I can cross 2200 just like you. I know it's rapid but still.

I also attribute my improvement to puzzles mostly. Whenever I get stuck, I solve hundreds of puzzles and when I get back to playing, my rating goes up. BTW, how do you solve 100-200 puzzles every day? It takes me hours to solve 100.

Any additional tips you can give other than solving puzzles?

Congratulations!

When I was doing puzzles, I was improving at the same time, so some of them were easy and only took a few seconds. But, I sometimes made a miscalculation and got the puzzle wrong.

Eric Rosen's study on the Stafford Gambit and the Stafford Gambit from white's perspective are very helpful. If you havent looked at them, you should definitely do!

Same for me! March 2020 I was 600 lichess rated

June 2020 1000 lichess rating

May 2021 2000 lichess rating

Congrats!!

@ethanityz Really nice progress!
I added 500 points to the rating in the bullet, thanks to my coach, the chess community on YouTube, and, of course, thanks to my mouse :)
