Elo 1300
Reaching Elo 1300 on Chess.com, the rating of a "decent social player," and the shrugs it earned from my family.
Today, at the peak of the biggest chess drama in years, I silently reached Elo 1300 on Chess.com.
Elo is the rating system used in chess, and Elo 1300 means I'm a "decent social player".
I shared this news with my family, and got something between a blank stare and an eye roll. I don't blame them.
If you think chess is boring, I encourage you to take a look at game 6 of the 2021 World Chess Championship.
I'll let you know when I get to Elo 1400. Being busy and all, that will likely take me several months.
