500 Classical Chess Games on Lichess
Just over 7 months into my Journey as a Chess Scholar. Under a self-imposed regimen of daily hours of deliberate practice.
About Hours of deliberate practice. I’ve dedicated a good amount of this time playing Classical Games on Lichess.org.
Getting better at Classical Chess is my main Chess goal. And my Lichess Classical rating is my scoreboard.
- Rating: 1295
- Peak rating: 1327
- Percentile (I’m better than): 26.1% of Lichess Classical players
- Peak percentile: 28.1%
- Current ranking: 12,599
- Time spent playing: 6 days, 10 hours
No bullshit! No lie!! No bragging!!! The numbers don’t lie.

Nonetheless, the climbing is laborious since I insist on only facing stronger opposition in order to get better. Conventional wisdom among Chess authors.
Time Format: 30+5
Opponent rating range: -0 to +500

Not too bad for a 50 year young beginner with a little over seven months of daily training.
I’ve played everyday no matter what.
