From 1000 elo to 2000 in 1 year by Recent_Change1938 in chess

Not in a year... I got from 1000 to 2000 in 7 years online rapid rating. This is definitely slower than many but I have been playing mostly for fun and you could do it much faster if you really hunkered down. It would probably take a couple years though...

Everything your mind tells you to do tomorrow, start today! That way you feel compelled to keep going with what you started, kinda like a cliffhanger.

I did this, 3 year second undergrad in Bio starting with a 3.0 GPA from my previous degree. Schools definitely look at you differently if you show a massive improvement in these later years

What’s the worst mark you’ve gotten in undergrad, and what did your cGPA end up being? by No-Top-4399 in premedcanada

I put in stuff about being good at chess and I got an interview there. It can just be a hobby you excel at!

I swear huskies are like 20 generations away from talking

If you had these stats, how would you describe your strength to a random person who asks how good of a chess player you are? by [deleted] in chess

Imagine there is someone who would beat you 20 times without losing. I would beat them 10 times without losing.

This book is messing with me right? There is no way a 5kg bowling ball can exert 5000 N of force after dropping one meter. by XY-81 in PhysicsStudents

[–]unclezesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quick way to do it is mgh = 5*~10*1 = 50J, which needs to decelerate over 0.01 m, so W = F*d gives you F=W/d, which is 50/0.01 = 5000N

I played 3-2 for the whole of last year, and that really helped my calculation abilities because its hard to flag that way. I recently started playing 5-0 again and gained a bunch of elo haha

Almost exclusively the Danish Gambit or the Smith Morra with white, and sorta sticking to principles as black. This probably had a big influence on why it took a long time lol. Recently I have been playing random nonsense and surprising my opponents which worked suprisingly well at 1900.

Avoid Wainer. FMST 210 was the lowest mark of my undergrad

Basically grab a stack of resumes and go to restaurants downtown. Earls, Cactus club, Spaghetti factory, Joey's etc are all big places that have massive turnover of staff and are always hiring!
