What was your biggest chess achievement?

The fact my IPad is still in one piece is a major achievement. I daresay if it makes it intact to the end of its natural life before apple stop supporting it, that will be my greatest achievement.

probably these 2000 blitz here on lichess, multiple OTB draws against an FM I know, some wins against titled players with other accounts on various platforms an AFM Title and being able to teach my gf what I love about the game.

@vamsi_ravula my lowest rating is 1000 on the dot, and now I'm closing in on 2100!

That one time I didn't blunder my queen. :P

For me, its beating a 2370 player in blitz without resorting to tricks, getting lucky, or any other anomalies. The game is messy, and we both missed major things, but it was otherwise a fun back and forth.

For me Its defeating 2435 rated Fide Master .

Defeating 2 titled players


And a 2500 in blitz who is a very active player

For me it seemed like qualifying & then Playing in the 1993 Southern California Closed Championship but after being doubted about being there NEXT year 1994 Qualifying Again & Playing was the best , 1 had One and a Half both times (Outta 7) I Played but was the number 8 seed out of 8 both times & finished 7th both times . Playing people like IM Jack Peters & Cyrus Lakdawalla is not easy IM Ramyrant from Phillipenes ect ect ... Nothing easy' but fun getting back in in 1994

It's when you have achieved something that others don't think you can & you do it AGAIN that was sweet

beating an LM in hyper
