Anyone so bold to publicly state their 2010 chess goals ?
I'll start with a couple -
1. To achieve 2100 CFC rating
2. To organize FIDE rated tournaments resulting in at least 8 new FIDE rated players for Manitoba.

Sure, I'll join in. When I first started playing, 1800 was my rating goal. Time for a new goal.
Goal 1:1900 rating
Goal 2:Score at least +0 in the open section of the AY.
1. a clear 1st TNT victory
2. To finish the year comfortably in 'A class' territory
As it's been a long time since I played serious chess and I am a greenhorn round these parts, my goals are a bit more modest:
Goal #1: return my play up to my previous rating (~1900 CFC)
Goal #2: Play in as many tournaments and be as involved as possible in the Winnipeg chess scene.
Goal #3: Score a 200+ point upset with one of my typical 'bad' openings.
1. Study hard like I used to. At least every 2nd day if not every.
2. Reach 2200 in either CFC or FIDE.
3. Play in at least 4 out of town tournaments.

My goal was set high.
2100 rating.
I climbed 200 rating points in 2009, going from a soft 1599 to 1799.
I guess I can make a stepping stone resolution to practice, study and do everything I can to duplicate my success this coming year.
Another resolution will be to reduce the level of inconsistency in my play. No more bad moves?? Well, maybe just fewer.
I have to start converting winning positions into wins more regularly.
