Hard reality but

Just go to lichess.org/account/preferences/display last thing on the page and turn off Elo ratings. You will never see a rating on lichess.org.

@SteinarArason lol 4 months is nothing. You’ve put such little amount of work. Imagine going to the gym for 4 months and not seeing the results you want so you give up.

Your journey has barely begun...

You could do a million puzzles, analyze your games, get coaching, and still, your rating would not improve.

Why? Learning something takes time. You will internalize concepts slowly and over _years_ playing the game they will become a habit in your mind.

In fairness, 4 months in the gym is enough time to totally transform yourself lol

you are never too old. There are people who start late to go to the uni and they manage, you will 2.

@userfriendly2 actually no. 4 months is nothing for a real transformation. Your thinking of steroid users.

No I'm not.

I'm thinking of guys who put in work and get the training done.

You might not be able for it but it can be done.

I've turned slobs into machines in less time with no drugs just diet and grit. You obviously ain't got it! Not for everyone though so don't sweat it.

@userfriendly2 lol
