2024-My first year on Lichess

My first contacts with chess

7 years ago there started a chess club at my school.At that time I already knew the basics,meaning how the pieces move and maybe some more basics.When I heard of it I joined and played a bit but didn ́t had a great trainer so I didn ́t improved or played tournaments.3 years later I left this school and changed to a new one.The new school didn ́t had a chess club so I didn ́t played any chess.

The Restart

At Winter 2022 there started a chess club at my new school and because my brother had started playing chess again and I had played with him and got a bit better again,I joined.It took me just some months to play my first tournament.
After 2 years also this club ended but in this time I got actually okay knowing not just the moves but tricks like forks pins and probably all of the others.Some months before this club ended my brother had joined an actual chess club with good trainers,way better than the trainers I had in the school club.Some months after my school club ended I joined the club he was in too and found people which are better or as good as me.
This is when I started actually improving.I played tournaments and got an official rating.

Lichess

Some months before the school club ended I joined on lichess.
I played my first game against a 1400 and WON.That was crazy because even right now I lose some games against 1400s but I didn ́t even knew it then becasue I didn ́t really knew anything about ratings.

The next days after this I played lots of Rapid and Chess960.
Soon I joined my first team krallar gelir • lichess.org and even played my first tournament for the team 48th Powerful Rapid Combat Teamkampf #GBZYZvmz • lichess.org .
Not long after this I just started a normal rapid match against a player called Aswerler.He invited me to his team,I joined and we became friends.
For some time we were just a small team with 3 members but after some time,we decided to make a team which isn ́t just for chatting and having fun and instead participates in tournaments.
This idea worked really good until Aswerler closed his account by a missclick.After he came back on a new account he took admin and some other leader permissions like settings from me as a joke and lost this account too somehow so no one at the team had admin or could change the description or other settings.The problem was that at this time the team was losing members and activity and no one could really do anything to change that so I decided to leave the team and focus on my Ultrabullet team which I created some time after we created the team which I left.
After this not really much happened,the Ultrabullet team grew insanely good and I got leadership in some other teams but there aren ́t that much important things which happened on lichess.

Overall I can say that I really reached my goals which I wanted to reach in this year and even way more than I wanted or expected
I hope I can improve even more in 2025 and I wish everyone good luck reaching their goals!
