Couldn't imagine that I played with 99.9 accuracy. What a way to reach 1200.
Couldn't imagine that I played with 99.9 accuracy... Unless I play 60.1 accuracy next time haha...
September 2025, I had my 4 years old son enrolled in a local chess club that dedicated to pre-school kids. At that time, I just knew how the pieces move etc, some basic knowledge from my childhood. He attends the club 1.5 hours each day on every weekends and get some homework from the trainer. I am, as a caretaker, responsible for him completing the homework, and funnily I also start to refresh my knowledge and even learn new things in chess along the way with my son.
After 6, 7 months he started to improve drastically, and showed some prospects. Then I started to worry like what if I am not able to help with homework or at least not challenge him playing at home.
That's why I started to play on chess.com which is pretty addictive. I've been playing in a volume for the last 4 months. Even sometimes 40 or 50 games a day. The thing is I've been improving a lot so that I'm sure that I can challenge, train, and guide him at least 2 or 3 years from now, though naturally he'll start beating me easily in the future in which I'll be so happy.
Now, I just think it's better to have a break for a few days at least to sit at 1200. My desire is to improve like 1350-1400 by the end of 2026.
You can see my last game using this link, also feel free to give me some advice going through my other games. Usually, I play the Italian opening.
If you are a beginner like me, it's always worth to watch some YouTube streams, my favorite one is ChesswithAkeem. After watching tons of videos on that channel, my rating started to rise.
