Lichess milestones
How difficult can it be for someone to achieve a rating of at least 2000 in every variant and mode in lichess?In order for me to start this challenge I need to set first some criteria:
- Rating deviation must be under 65.00
- At least 100 games played in each variant and 30 and 20 in rapid and classical accordingly
- Actively playing blitz times in variants and not only hyper (30 seconds games)
Additionally, I want to set some more goals for classical chess
- Bullet rating: 2700
- Ultrabullet: 2300
- Blitz: 2300
- Rapid/Classical: 2150
My progress so far...
I am very close completing all of the variants but I still need to improve Racing Kings and to not rely on hyper games for 3-Check and Crazyhouse. Atomic is also very difficult as I have not played in a long time but I find blitz atomic games very fun.
Atomic
I have started studying some atomic here too: http://nicklong.net/chess/lite/atomic/

Racing Kings
It is not my favorite one to play, but there is a lot of material out there waiting to be studied!

3-Check
Sharpens my understanding of the board overall so I enjoy it a lot
Crazyhouse
"Crazy" for a reason as I find myself losing often in the opening but I maintain a 2000+ rating so I do not worry too much.
What's next
I can't really tell but I enjoy studying a little bit of everything daily and watching my progress. I hope I can share more of my progress here as I really enjoy it and it would be very interesting for others to join me and help too!
