The halfway point…

Discipline

We've officially reached the halfway point between 1000 and 2000 ELO, congratulations!


This is where a lot of people give up though. Gaining this last 500 ELO can be a test too difficult for some, mainly because of discipline. We've spoken a lot about consistency, and discipline is a huge part of this.


Let's explore this a bit more!

Training Plan

Have a look at your updated training plan! Not much has changed, however the important thing is that we're keeping consistent and not overcomplicating things.

  • Complete video training

  • Play x5 slow games per day against real players

  • Thoroughly analyze each game (20-30 mins)

  • Train puzzles for 60 minutes per day (woodpecker method)

  • Watch 2 speedrun videos per week on your opening

  • Train endgame positions against an engine for 30 minutes per day

  • Play 1 Solitaire Chess game per day (20 mins)

Let's keep up this good work and move on to the next section!
