ty all for ur replies
just hoping someone high rated like 2000+ will come along and want to coach me. i am currently 1450 on chess.com which says it is 95% percentile. however, I know i am pretty weak. Yes, i know i can train and do puzzles and watch videos...honestly I already do, just looking to boost even more...thanks!!!!

is chess king

ty for recommending. i actually did pm him , but he hasnt been online since aug 2024

Pretty sure op is already rated higher than Costello, lol

is this true?

how the turn tables

the student becomes the teacher

the apprentice is now the master

You most certainly did.



Gc is almost nothing but trolls.

This has me rolling

It's not a fabricated skill you can work hard at and achieve 99 percentile, you've hit your ELO limit, some people are just special and think special, be happy about your 1450 and go smash some noobs

no offense, but how would u know what anyones limit is?
also, its precisely a game of skill that you can work at...whats going on here?

2nd edit - i said in my intiial post that i am bad and make a ton of mistakes. i have a ton of room for easy improvement. i think most ppl just dont work at all on chess so tis easy to be "95 percentile" when u work a tiny bit at it...aka watching a few youtube videos. i get the feeling you dont know what oyure talking about MadMard
