Climb 101 ELO, Recovery -- Reason to Be Proud, LiChess Accomplishment



Rub of this was not ELO increase, but done so by mostly only challenging superior players.  Thus, up 101 ELO at LiChess in four days--but only five more wins, than loses.

Yasser told me, in 2002, that he got really good playing above him, or was it his book, or both?  Lots of tactics, at Chesstempo.com.  Thanks to Richard for being my long term friend, and savvy provider.

Monday 13 Nov, addendum

Addendum, as climb yet more, seeking 1700 as long term goal.  But before that, I need to be able to STAY between 1630 and 1650, previously eluded me.  Moreover, positively been to 1671 twice, near a year apart.  1680 was not attainable, nor even 1672.

Sunday 19 Nov, addendum 2
