100 Days of Chess

February 15, 2026

100 days of chess (starting 2/15/26)

27h 47m total · 48 games

After 100 days I can start a game, finish a game, and spot some pins or smothers. Motivation tapered off the longer I went, and the main reason was practicing on a screen – retention was poor and reasoning felt harder than it does over a real board. To actually improve from here I'd need a tutor and a real study plan, not another solo streak and I think every game and study should be on an actual board; every game I played on the board, I noticed that I retained something.
