♡ 16 ( +1 | -1 ) congratulations, but beware every 50 rating points or so now may take years now. so dont be afraid in going down in rating in order to improve long term.

♡ 31 ( +1 | -1 ) Congratulations in your achievement.
You have annotated numerous games here at GK. Apparently this has helped. May you continue to improve. When I first met you here your rating was almost 200 points lower. This is a fantastic improvement but you worked hard for it.
If I can be of any further help, please let me know.

♡ 17 ( +1 | -1 ) ...Annotating probably helped a lot, yeah, but I think the major source of your success is playing well above your rating and asking lots of questions.
