How long did it take you to get an elo of 1000 in chess.

You are way better at chess than me.

Congrats

Is this in lichess rating or chess.com rating?

op mentioned chess.com rating earlier I think

Still in the 900 range 😅

Looking over your games I see a lot of good things man. Don’t be discouraged. I recommend longer than 10 min games though. 15-30 min is better. Make sure before every move you go over other possible moves and what your opponent can do and so forth. Last piece of advice I see you like to bring your queen out and it just gets chased around. Might want to stop going for early bishop/queen mates that your opponent takes advantage of by forcing you out and developing at the same time. Develop soundly…double check for tactics, and make sure you don’t blunder. If you get burnt out on your main opening for white learn the London System. People can talk bad about it all they want but at your rating it is brutally effective

It took my about 5 months to get 1000 but it’s since I been training for like every day

Nthn

i still havent gotten there...... only 15 rating points away

About 2 weeks when I started out here while having prior experience in OTB casual play. Avoiding one-move blunders, basic tactical knowledge, and a little experience should be enough to reach 1000.

I started around 1100-1200 at Lichess after playing some games on the Kasparov computer on airplane rides

Well I think I started around 1000 but it took a month or so to lift myself off the plateau.

Doing basic puzzles is helpful, but the beginning is mostly about training checkmate patterns, particularly those aimed at the f7/f2 square.

Then you start exploring openings, different ways to bring the pieces to the party, and more intermediate tactics. You watch the masters, you try some sacrifices (the Greek gift alone is probably good for 100 points).

So after about a year I steadied around 1500. Then it took me a long time to get beyond that, especially encountering the chess.com level which is higher than on other sites.

Now I'm about 2 years in and stable at 1700. My goal is 1900.

I find puzzles most helpful, but deep studies in different opening lines are crucial as well.

 

took me 8 months of consistent playing  to reach 1,000

Barely scraped past 900 in rapid games before I got completely sick of spending loads of time only to blunder and lose. So I'll probably never reach 1000. Bullet, though, is another matter.

nah, I was above 1000 always when I started chess.com. One year ago, I started playing chess much seriously than before( just playing not studying) and still got to 1900 in 1 year

When I started playing on chess.com, I started off at about 1000.

I started chess.com and ended up about 680. With a couple of lessons from chess.com I reached 900. Then I got serious about chess and passed 1000 in a week I think.

honestly even in my past and up to now, it was pretty subtle and i didnt wander much on passing 1000 as while i was pretty weak back then i still was at least around 1400 mostly so cant recall as again it was pretty fast that i broke that barrier, i just played safe moves and believed

i started playing at 4, so probably around 5-7 years

300 to 1000 in 2-3 months
