Title: What Are Your Chess Goals for 2010? Post by: Jazzman99 on January 05, 2010, 06:18:13 AM I think it's still early enough to talk about new year's chess resolutions. Here's my first: I want to win a game in an actual tournament against somebody above the age of 15. :)

Maybe setting up an annual tournament schedule would help. I know that your job limits your participation in tournaments, but playing in the Chicago Open (a seven-rounder) at the end of May and in the State Championships in October would make your goal easy to accomplish. ;)
As for my own chess goals for 2010, I would like the following: 1. Get better at endgames, 2. play again this year in the Chicago Open and finish with a minimum score of 5.5 out of 7, 3. understand better the White side of the English in the Reversed Dragon set up. I plan to play in at least three tournaments this year (Chicago Open [late May] and the IN State Championships [October] plus one or two more in between) and hope to raise my USCF rating at least 100 points. We'll see. ??? |
