I have read and remembered every thread/post on here.


Edit 1:
I had the book in my hands at a book stall and although I have
written a book with Nigel....Oooo Chandler you name dropping bast***

I changed my mind and bought a book on opening traps!!!
Thanks for digging that up GP. yes the Chess Power Programme. It would be great to hear from Fabian to see if it really was this book that he feels made the difference. It's quite possibe he threw it away went with some other training programme.
Any system that gains 500 rating points i'm definetely interested in!

Gaining 500 rating points in a year isn't that remarkable is it? If I'm not rated at least 1800 by the end of next year then I need to have a my brain scanned. Really.

Yeah, anyone can be a GM after four or five years. Nothing to it.

well if you're rated 1800 it'll probably be hard to get to 2200. But I learnt chess 5months ago and I'm 1300. In a year I expect to be 1800.

btw, Fabians new year resolution post actually goes back to Dec'2007 ! so it's been more than a year and a half since.. not that I want to undermine his achievements though

every next 100 points gets harder then the previous 100. Don't expect to much.

Yes indeed this is precisely what makes Fabian's improvement so remarkable. Ah well he's obviously reluctant to come on and give his words of wisdom so i guess we'll never know.

that's not going to happen with the same rate of improving 🙂

If he's already at 1300 in 5 months, he'll be at least 2600 in a year
