How to improve from 1500

It took me 3 months to go from 1400 to 1500 in rapid 10+0 on chesscom. For about a month now, I’ve been hovering around 1500, I hit 1580 within a week of crossing 1500, then dropped to 1470, and now I’m back at 1520. For those rated 1600+, what did you do to get there from 1500, and how long (or how many games) did it take? One pattern I’ve noticed is that it takes me roughly 200–300 rapid games to gain 100 Elo.

I built a chess position search engine

Hey! How is it going? I've been toying with this idea for a while and finally came around to it! Its a tool that let's you find positions in real games (from Lichess only for now) based on specific pieces in the board or specific positional patterns.

I though this could be useful for chess coaches to find material for classes but maybe there's other use cases! I'd love to hear your thoughts!

White to move and Mate in 3

Found this really satisfying mate in 3.

The first move isn’t obvious, but once you see it, everything clicks.

Curious how many of you can calculate it fully 👀

A statement the chess world couldn’t ignore! Gotta be proud of her!

Copy pasting this from the Better India's handle ; -At just 24, Vaishali Rameshbabu has done what no Indian woman ever has — won the FIDE Women's Candidates 2026. But this wasn’t sudden. At just 12, Vaishali had already taken down Magnus Carlsen in a simul, long before he became the dominant force we know today. The talent was always there. The recognition? Not always. For years, her journey ran parallel to one of the most talked-about rises in chess—her brother, R. Praggnanandhaa. And with that came constant comparisons. Questions that weren’t always about her. A narrative that often placed her second. But Vaishali chose a different response. Training alongside a world-class player became her advantage. Every conversation, every analysis, every shared moment sharpened her game. And in Cyprus, it all clicked. Round after round, she held her nerve. Until there was no narrative left to question. Today, Vaishali has defeated Kateryna Lagno in the final round to secure her spot at the Women’s World Championship. A victory years in the making. A statement the chess world couldn’t ignore. u/chessvaishali

Vishy Anand tweets: "A proud moment for Indian chess with two Indians to cheer for in the World Championships" as Vaishali wins the Women's Candidates.

Full text:

Congratulations Vaishali . She showed excellent preparation and resilience. Took the blows & delivered the punches. A proud moment for Indian chess with two Indians to cheer for in the World Championships. Personally proud that our WACA mentee will now have a shot at the world title. Being from Chennai is just another flex !
