I'm finally in the top 5 percent of active players on chess.com on rapid games.
I felt the urgent need to brag about this as soon as I hit the 5 percent mark.
My elo is 1388, with 1044 wins, 944 losses and 158 draws.
I'm nearly in the top million globally. My global rank is 1036382. Which isn't bad for the whole world.
My elo on lichess is higher but I don't really count that because I barely use the site and I heard the elo is inflated on there.
I'm restricting myself to one game a day so I can really focus on it and study it after.
I'm slightly worried because I heard cheaters are more common the higher you get.
I've tried faster chess games, blitz and bullet and its just not for me, my elo is like 600-700, I just can't think that fast, half hour rapid games are about right for me.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
