It’s fun seeing so many parents at 40 jumping into chess personally and with their kids. I’m doing exactly the same thing and it makes me want to take lessons to step it up :)
Since you all have more experience than I do, does anyone have a sense of what rating is reasonably achievable with daily effort? Perhaps this is the wrong approach, as we obviously want to be as high as we can, but just curious if 1800 or 2000 is out of reach for most people or not? For context I can beat 1500 bots, but get crushed by a 1700 (though it isn’t clear if bots are accurately rated or not, so maybe I should use a different metric?)
- ar_lan 4y agoI think you should try playing people instead of bots. I'm 1100 but can beat the 1500 bots (not necessarily easily, but about 1/3 of the time). The problem with the bots is they are rated by just throwing in a random blunder every once in a while (which is what humans do too, but usually the bots are a bit more apparent about it).
