This week I celebrated reaching 1800 USCF and the American holiday of Thanksgiving. In this episode, I reflect on the different aspects of my life that helped me reach 1800. It was a fun episode for me as I reflected on my chess communities, coaches, family, friends, patience, health, and consistency. Hopefully, some of these thoughts will help you with your chess improvement process.
