Step by step: A hard look at myself to improve.

What I need to do to improve:

  • Read more theory. Forget buying physical books. Get more ebooks/playable pgn files for greater efficiency. I especially need to read up on middlegames/endgame strategy.
  • Organise my games using Chessbase. Learn how to use databases as a tool for research and organisation of opening files
  • Blog more to consistently motivate myself.
  • Set down some realistic goals for this year: Lichess Classical rating 2200, chess.com blitz/rapid 2000 by the end of 2023

There is no excuse. In Chess, you only get what you give.
