I am with you my friend, except with my rapid rating on lichess! I’ll be making a before and after blog post as well on this topic!

I'm down to join the challenge. Need around 150 rating points to get back to my peak which is doable with focus and discipline.

Great! I am with you, bro and I will follow up with great interest..

BTW: for the upcoming season my personal engaging target, as a rookie restarting playing, is trying not to be the one at the bottom of the rank of the club's tournament. So, let's go! (Each with its own target)

I don't know what discord is, but I'm happy to try to beat my all time high lichess rating of 2517. Let's do it.

When your challenge is finished it would be kind of you to explain us which creteria you followed to create a repertoire for blitz.

Thanks and good chess ;)

I think offbeat openings working better in blitz is a real thing. So if you want to prioritize blitz you should probably avoid the main lines. But whatever openings you use, the process of improving your repertoire one game at a time through blitz is really powerful. After awhile you’ve seen pretty much everything they can throw at you.
