Finally broke into 1300 ELO territory after a long climb from 900 with a 94.5 accuracy and 2 brilliant moves in a row!!! I’ve scored a 95.6 accuracy once before with the Stonewall but this one was definitely the most satisfying!

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, I was around 800 when starting the course and gradually worked my way up to 1235 over 6 months.

Hey does anyone know if there’s going to be a third group coaching call like there was with the first round of joiners or was there only ever going to be 2 the 2nd time round?
