Wow, Owen, you actually did it! I remember the first time I saw you play, I jokingly wrote, "My couch plays chess better than you." It was a bad joke, but to be honest, I didn't believe you'd reach 2000 at first. And here you are now! I'm genuinely so happy for you congratulations, you now play better than my couch! You deserve it! Keep up the great content; you're a part of my day now!
Congrats!! Don’t let the anticlimactic nature of “the” 2k game diminish the brilliance of so many of your other games. Those are the games that earned your 2k rating.
Been watching you since around 1600, great to see your growth, and the enjoyment you get from this game. Hope you achieve whatever goals you set for yourself in the future, and have the same spark and joy you had on the road to 2k. Congrats man.
You're the best man!! I'll still have enjoyment from it, never fear!! I'm going to really try to pursue a title, and I think the road to 2100 will be a good start towards that journey!
Dude CONGRATS! I've been watching all the games where you had a shot to break it. Super funny that this was the weird game to do it, but that's just karma from the other bad breaks. Well deserved
Well done! Don't worry about the "easy" win, it's balanced out by games that you should have won, but lost. The point is, overall you hit 2k. I'm obviously following the latest games, but also dipping back into the earlier ones I have missed. Appreciate your efforts, and once again WELL DONE! 😊
Hey man, life's been busy but I check in on the videos every now and then. Your videos really have inspired me to do better in my own life (part of the reason why I really don't have time to watch as often) as I have a tendency to give up right before I see results or when things get "too hard". After seeing you simply being persistent, showing up every single day whether you felt like it or not, sick or not, motivated or not, even when your rating was getting worse you kept showing up, and look at you now - you achieved your goal and it really made me reevaluate and show up in the things I need to in my own life. Really inspirational Owen, will definitely keep watching and excited to see where you end up! Congrats man
Brother, I am very touched by this comment. I hope you are able to keep fighting and getting through any difficulties in your life! Get out there and beat those obstacles!!
Vivek!!! Seriously man you don't need to send me money!! Thankyou so much, it's really kind of you!! Ah yeah, that tournament was a bit crazy! I'm excited to do more! Maybe we can play OTB soon!! Will you be at the next one?
@@vivekchalasani do you find yourself thinking the same things over and over in your mind? I find that, and it's def stressful. My series to 2100 might be more enjoyable, I think tomorrow's game is going to be a fantastic start, it might help be a more fun experience for you as a viewer, but let me know what you think!
Big congrats, Owen! This is a big, big achievement as the only people who get 2k are deep in the 99th percentile anyway, the best of the best online. 2025 is gonna bring great things, imma finally break the 1000 elo barrier and you gonna get to 2300, too. Big Ws all around incoming! Edit: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I loved that game to 2k because it's just so real, bro. Sometimes you really do get an opening where an opponent gifts you 2 free minor pieces and, hey, you didn't stand there with a gun to their head forcing them to make horrific blunders. A win is a win bro!
@@The0verman hahahah, thankyou brother!!! I've loved getting to make these videos and I do think more exciting videos will be coming!!! You're right, I often get worried thinking I'm not very good at chess, but in actuality many people are stuck a lot lower, so at the end of the day I suppose I'm okay 😂, appreciate you man!!!
@@Blunder_Man there's levels to everything, bro and ofc compared to the summit of the chess mountain where you have players like Magnus, Kasparov and Fischer, you're not good compared to them but neither are most modern day GMs. All three of those GOATs would cook a 2500+ GM like Nelson cooked you. The vast majority of chess players are hobbyists and for a hobbyist, you're an excellent player, Owen! Personally, I'm looking forward to your OTB chess progression and I'd like to see an elo rating climb with your USCF rating. GM might be out of reach but NM is possible. The epic rematch with Nelson is not incoming but it's coming at some point! I believe!
Well done! Congrats! You have been an inspiration to me and I have started to pick up chess again through your video's. I feel like I can almost match your speed and thoughtproces in calculating which makes it easier to follow your videos. It's fun to kind of agree/disagree with your choices and to immediately see who had it 'right' with the live analysis board. Thanks for this amazing series!
Ah that's fantastic to hear! I'm thinking of switching to a 15+10 format and doing one game, that way I can really think through stuff a bit more, but I'm not sure yet
Congradulations, Owen! It's about the journey not the destination, that 2k game being a disaster doesn't take anything away from the journey you've had.
Dude!! I’ve been watching as part of my daily routine since like day 100, so stoked you got there congratulations Your videos have improved my chess massively and are very relaxing to watch
Congrats on hitting 2K! It might not have been the most thrilling way to get there, but you've consistently won some exciting games along the way. Keep it up, champ!
Congratulations bud what a great achievement 👏👏 Iv'e been watching your channel since the mid 1600's where you were stuck for a while. loving the content and thanks for inspiring me to increase my own elo by a few hundred point's 🙌 Love from Ireland keep er lit lad!!
Congratulations man,this is very motivational! The series shows what realistic progress looks like and from what I’ve watched you always tried to stay positive,even after hard losses. You definitely should make that “how I got to 2000 elo” video,they seem to do very well on TH-cam 😅
Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Reaching a milestone while having to work hard to achieve it is something that serves to inspire others to try and struggle equally so in order to achieve their own goals. Once again, congratulations! 😊
Congrats Owen!! I told you that you’d hit this milestone before day 365!! Looking forward to seeing your upcoming content ideas (maybe a road to NM???)
Owen, I don't watch you to see you win, I watch you because I enjoy your gameplay regardless if you win or not. Post those games ;) CONGRATS ON 2K, IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. Well done (and funny way of achieving those last points lol)
Congrats Blunderman!! this series has been a joy to watch! We can celebrate together since I've hit 1000 for the first time yesterday, I also play the Jobava so your videos really really helped me! Btw, you're certified to do a speedrun series now hehe 😉😉
The gods must have been jealous due to your rapid rise. You deserved a much better opponent. Regardless, a big congratulations for hitting the magic number.
Honestly after all the fucking struggles. Hitting 2k like that is kinda the coolest thing ever. How the opponent ever got to 2k premoving their openings in rapid is beyond me tho :D
You did it man! Congrats 👏🏼 I like the idea tho that reaching 2100 will make feel like you’re really a 2000 player! Totally make sense and I agree with you. Keep it up 💪🏼
That's the funniest way I've ever seen someone break into a major elo range lmfao. Blunder man getting 2k off a double blunder from his opponent. Absolute pisser But mate you did it! You've beaten 2ks before and you're disposing of players lower than your rating quite consistently. It's well deserved brother I'm so stoked for you man!
2100 it is! Wrote my comment right after the 2k game. Just finished the video and heard you saying 2100 is the next goal 🎉 I wonder who this “certain someone “ could be 👀👀
Keep plugging away mate, your progress is good. I'm an "Adult Improver" too and bit by bit, day by day, you'll miss less and see more trust me! Nice channel!
Just remember, theres a massive chance youll fall again. It happens to all of us. I reached 1900 about 20 different times before i went to 2000. And it took even longer to stay there. But be consistent and all will be well!!!
Holy mary you did it under a year? I havent followed your road to 2k series specifically but ive watched some others and theyre at 1500 after 2 years and at 1200 after almost a year. Whats your secret?
Man, IDK... I think one key difference was I didn't play as many games, I think I've really tried to improve on my games as I've gone, but yeah, if I lose a couple I almost always have just stopped and reset the next day! I've also watched a lot of videos on the openings I play, but not just the openings, the middle game ideas that arise from those openings! So I have more of an idea of what to pursue! Thanks so much for watching brother!! I hope you stick around!!
@@Blunder_Man Well im glad to hear this type of progress is possible. 80 days ago I started a similar thing, I've yet to hit a plateau in my progress so I think my elo is just adjusting to my actual skill level
The title is misleading. He didn't go from complete beginner to 2K in a year, he was rated around 1650 400 days ago. It's also rapid, so I guess its around 1600-1700 or so in blitz/bullet. I doubt anyone can go from complete beginner to 2K in a year (might be possible for a low percentage of people in rapid, but close to impossible (if not impossible) in blitz/bullet).
@@dg3872 yes!! I didn't mean to mislead anyone, I think the title is accurate, I finally hit it after the days I put in, but yeah, my first videos I was around a 1600
I watched another youtuber's journey to 1500 elo, after about 300 days he managed to hit it without filming it by mistake. Sooo could be worse 😆 congrats on 2k
@@Blunder_Man i can see u collaborating with a known chess content creator, it cud happen any day in this week. And again, its SUSHIL* not sushi. Anyways congrats brother🎊
