Hope she makes more content like this, and maybe considers bumping up the time control (maybe 10+5 or something) to allow more time to talk through ideas. Not lots of down-to-earth chess content out there like this!🙏

I started with a rating of 996. Since then, my rating has gone down. I mostly blame myself for playing at the end of the day when I'm super tired. I haven't played much at all in the past 32 years. My older brother taught me to play, but we didn't play a lot. I got very sick after that and I've been in hospital after hospital until about 2014. Now that I'm back to "normal" I'm trying to get back into the things I enjoyed when I was younger, like chess.

Hey there, if you haven't played much in a few decades you'll be shaking off a lot of rust. Which if you love chess will be great, as you're going to lose games. You'll improve through tactics/puzzles, playing and watching educational material. And whenever I'm losing a few, I always remember these content creators have lost thousands upon thousands of games to get where they are.

@@KV-gy2mr It's cause new players play more rapid. Anything under 1600 is going to be weaker in rapid while above that they tend to even out. 1200 rapid is also much more inconsistent.
