David hits 2004
David was happy tonight. He finally got over a 2000 rating in chess. Good job, David!
2000 is significant because in some rating systems, that’s the threshold of being a titled player. His 2004 was from chess.com though, not from a “real” chess organization (such as the USCF or FIDE). David says it’s pretty hard to correlate the two, but still… 2004 is pretty good!
He plans to play in another tournament next month, so we’ll see how he does there.

Congrats to David! I play chess with my computer and beat it about 75% of the time. I haven’t played a person in years.

It’s different playing “over-the-board” than on screen. His 2004 ranking was in blitz – mostly 3 minute. His long game is not nearly that high.

It’s nice to have you here in the two-way sense again.
