Achieving My New Highest Elo with a BRILLIANT MOVE!!!

My New Highest Elo! How I Got to 1200 in Blitz Chess I’ve made no secret of the fact that fast chess isn't my strong suit. While I sit at a comfortable ~1550 in Rapid (top 2%), my Blitz rating has always lagged behind. But today, we break new ground. Join me as we break down the game that pushed me to a new peak rating of 1200 in Blitz on Chess.com! We’re hiding the evaluation bar for this one to keep things interesting. Watch as we navigate the Reti Gambit, pull off an "undeserved" brilliant move, dodge some terrifying missed tactics, and capitalize when it matters most. Are you working on your Blitz rating too?
