1500 ELO Blueprint
1500 ELO Blueprint
If you want to Reach 1500 ELO in Chess, and beat all of your friends
and family members, then you just have to follow this blueprint
First and foremost we have to determine how much time you have to
dedicate daily to learning and improving in chess. There are two
different Categories
Casual: You like to play chess and you want to improve, but you
also have responsibilities to attend to, and Chess does not come
first. You have 1-2 hours a day that you can play and learn chess
Casual: Because we have to work with 1-2 hours a day, here is how
you’re Training Schedule is going to look like:
This Training Schedule can be adjusted for how much time you have
(for example, 15 minutes of puzzles can be 30 minutes of puzzles)
Dedicated: Since you have some more time on your hands this is
what your training schedule is going to look like
Now that you know exactly what daily training is going to look like,
now let me tell you about everything that you’re going to need to learn
in order to reach 1500 ELO…

Now I know this might look overwhelming, because it kind of is.
If you take everything that I give you today and start on your journey,
I’ll tell you that you’ll probably hit 1500 ELO in 4-6 months, and most of
that time you’re going to spend is just trying to find all the material to
learn from
BUT
I created something that will make it so much easier for you, and take
way less time
I Created the Reach 1500 Chess Challenge that teaches you EVERY
concept that I talked about today
In an organized daily format, so you can just watch a video and learn
what you need to learn
You won’t have to waste your time trying to organize all the
information and learning from subpar teachers like I did
