First off well done Dan. Nice rise and progression. You and I have a very similar chess history where we started chess at teens, came back to it a few times until returning seriously after the pandemic. I would love to discuss with you what you find is working and what is not working in your chess journey in deeper detail. I too have also raised my rating a considerable amount since my return. Coincidentally almost 300 points from Oct 2022 to Oct 2023. If you want to connect to further the conversation I would love to. Let me know. Either way congratulations and I look forward to seeing you reach Expert and Master in the future.
Very nice writeup. I'm trying to get to the 1500 mark myself. How many OTB games per month would you say you were playing during your most recent climb?
Excellent article concerning your chess improvement.

USCF says I played 56 classical games in 2022 and 27 so far in 2023.
