Finally Candidate
By _Puzzles, history, 27 hours ago, In English

After 1 year 1 month and 4 days I finally made the leap from Expert to Candidate. It's been a really great trip but this isn't the end. M is the next goal and I'm not planning to take another year to get there.

My advice for any one out there who wants to reach CM is a quote I heard, "Obsession beats talent". So just spend a lot of time practicing and you'll just find your ratings sky rocket.

Congrats!

and I wish I could say the kind of same thing for me, except I become pupil this round. But as fate would have it, I felt short of $$$13$$$ rating points.

    Even I went through a similar thing when I was about to get to pupil. But felt short of 28 points so I know how provoking it could be. But you can get them in Saturdays contest. Good luck.
