      Loving the course , but feel I need some reality check advice ! In brief , I played chess for my school up to the age of 18 . During the next 43 years or so , barely played at all , too many other things , but started playing again last year primarily to help recovery following a stroke ( excellent game as uses both sides of the brain ) . Fallen in love with the game again & thoroughly enjoying it . I’m 63 later this year & need advice on expectations I should realistically expect in terms ratings climb . Did play in a simul whilst working in Hong Kong against Miguel Najdorf – not that we Brits like to name drop 😵‍💫😂

      • Hello Andrew, I have also fallen in love with the game again! I’m 62 recently retired and excited to have this course to follow. Good luck with your rating climb!

        Cheers 🥂

        • Many thanks Paul , got to 1166 on rapid , prior to the course , so see what happens ! All the best to you too & hope you enjoy the rest of the course !

        • 1166 rapid nice… i’ll get there someday 🙂

          • Of that I have no doubt ! This course I’m sure will help us all achieve greater heights in this annoying but wonderful game 😀

          • Annoying but wonderful….well said
