1850 to 2000 Blitz Rating Climb In One Week, Possible?

> I also play mostly 3+0. The only tips I can give you there is: Always keep an eye on the clock and dont calculate forcing lines for half a minute, when you have a good move that you can play instantly.
I would definitely try that right away because that's what I literally do: Take a whole minute for a sequence of moves. I'm losing some games because of time as a result. But also, it kinda gets messy in middlegames when there is a possibility of a fork or attack, any suggestion for that part?
For the chess part: I have seen, that you create yourself weaknesses voluntarily and obviously trivia blunders. You cannot stop them, but you can lower the rate.
Ребят, подскажите, что делать, если забыл почту от аккаунта и восстановить уже не могу досступ.
Also always look for unprotected pieces. Your pieces and the opponent's pieces. When they move something, try to think: What can the piece do now, what it couldn't do before!

Yeah, you got a point, I try to take so many risks in order to achieve something with a possibility to happen, but I always thought how to increase its possibility of happening by taking my time, and not how to actually minimize those risks itself, and go for a good, quick, move. You really got a point, thanks!

> Can't really give any tips. I am just better tactically and positionally. It takes study and practice.

Agreed. If you studied your weaknesses then maybe. Also if you note why you lost each game it will guide what you need to study.
If you just have a good day it’s possible. I’ve had days Id won 30 games and lost 4. The rating spikes 100+points but it’ll adventually drop for when you have a bad day

> Hello, this might seem a bit absurd, but I want to try climbing rating from 1850 to 2000 in blitz with just the remaining days of 2023. I mean I would at least try to gain points, or to be specific, experience till then, but it would be really great if I can reach it. Of course, I'm not writing all this to brag or anything (or maybe I'm /j), I just want to know if any would be so kind to give me any tips that helped them climb that part.

This is like how a physics teacher brought his students out to show them a tall building and then asked them to find the actual height without actually measuring the building....

Although the students did run around calculating its shadow and all ....the quickest and correct answer came from one student who went and asked the door man what the height of the building was....

Moral of the story is....sometimes the answer is so obvious ....that you can't see it.....because you are looking too hard.
