congratulations, but beware every 50 rating points or so now may take years now. so dont be afraid in going down in rating in order to improve long term.

Congratulations in your achievement.
You have annotated numerous games here at GK. Apparently this has helped. May you continue to improve. When I first met you here your rating was almost 200 points lower. This is a fantastic improvement but you worked hard for it.
If I can be of any further help, please let me know.

Annotating probably helped a lot, yeah, but I think the major source of your success is playing well above your rating and asking lots of questions.

Chess news:
Magnus Carlsen wins without distinction — Magnus Carlsen won the London Classic and confirmed his world No1 status, yet paradoxically the Norwegian seemed, compared with the chess legends Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov in their pomp, far from his personal zenith. Carlsen impressed in his opening win against Vlad Kramnik, which ultimately settled first prize, and in the later stages of his next win from Luke McShane. But in the remaining five rounds he stuttered his way to victory. He could have lost to Michael Adams, had two or three other dubious positions and missed a simple win in the puzzle below. Still the 19-year-old's No 1 spot in the January world chess rankings will fulfil the target set by his coach Kasparov. Kramnik ...
Veteran Has Staying Power, but 19-Year-Old Will Be No. 1 — Two of the biggest chess events of the year ended last week with champions who are at very different stages of their chess careers. In Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, Boris Gelfand of Israel captured the World Cup, outlasting a field of 128 players. Though he is No. 7 in the world, and will be No. 6 when the new chess rankings come out on Jan. 1, Gelfand, 41, is not likely to be an elite player for many more years, particularly when chess is increasingly a young man’s game. His staying power — he has been among the world’s best chess players for two decades — is unusual. With the victory in the World Cup, Gelfand has qualified for the candidates’ matches to select a challenger for ...
Another Dose of Chess Nostalgia — Tis the season, or perhaps the year, for nostalgia. In September, Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov, the former chess champions and rivals, played a 12-game exhibition match in Valencia, Spain, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their first championship match. On Friday, another match between chess legends began in Elista, the capital of Kalmykia, a region in southern Russia next to Kazakhstan. The match is between Boris Spassky, 72, the former world chess champion, and Viktor Korchnoi, 78, the two-time (or three-time, depending on whether the candidates final in 1974 is included) challenger for the world title. Like Kasparov and Karpov, Korchnoi and Spassky are old rivals, though ...
