40 years old!

I turned 40 yesterday! What a milestone.

A couple of good things chess-wise has happened to me:

  1. I got a new coach
  2. I broke my personal best chess.com blitz rapid. My highest now stands at 2040.
  3. I broke Lichess.org blitz rating 2100
  4. My geniune 5 min puzzle storm on chess.com reached a new high of 42 points.
  5. Played over a 100 lichess4545 games – had the pleasure of being interviewed… Willl post it soon

In the next 5 years, I definitely want to achieve the following goals

  1. Break ELO 2000 FIDE classical chess
  2. Play in the World’s Amateur and win a medal placement
  3. Get a proper chess study plan going

I’m not sure whether it’s realistic for me to aim for the FM title, but if I don’t try I will never know.

Stay healthy and loving chess dear readers.
