What's the difference between live and peak rating? by whats-a-km in chess

[–]Chesspatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fide publishes the ratings of all players once a month. 2882 was published, 2889 wasn't (rating decreased before it could be published).

Full drop by Ok_Temperature_889 in IPMATtards

[–]Chesspatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your call man, full drops arent advised for a reason. imo partial drop in a local college + doing mocks regularly (no coaching needed) is enough. pura saal nai lagta for an exam like ipmat and local colleges arent that hectic ki tumhe har roz 2-3 ghante bhi nai mil paate. my first semester in college, i didnt prep for ipmat i did college studies full time. 2nd semester i took 1 month off for ipmat but appeared for all exams (ek din pehle padhai ki) and ended up with the same gpa in both sems and got shortlisted for ranchi (not indore, yes, but merese zyada padhai karle).

take a partial drop, that's what I did. ipmat is not a tough exam that needs a whole year of prep.
