      I remember that I often see you discussing problems and solutions under blogs of atcoder contests. I think you really deserve this because of your hard working. Congratulations!

    Thanks bro!

    In general, you should practice harder problems than your ratings to rate up, so when you can solve problems of ratings around 2100, then you become master.

      I have started practicing 2000R problems. I am not very good at 1800R or 1900R problems. But I felt they were not challenging enough to help me improve. Should I move on to 2000R or stick to 1800-1900

        You should do problems which you need to think about and challenge yourself to solve. I'd suggest doing problems with ratings 0 — 500 above your persomal rating. You should have some variance in the rating of the problems you are trying to solve.

        Solve problems without looking at their rating, as problem rating doesn't mean much.

            You'll know what you're lacking when you fail to solve a problem or when you take too much time on something people of suposedly lower skill than you didn't take as much time as you.

Great job!

However, don't get frustrated if you drop right back to purple after the next div1 — that's not your skill problem. It's hard to explain why, but everyone needs time to get accustomed to starting at div1A instead of a much easier div2A. For a certain time period I can consistently solve 4 in div2 and div1+2 but I never solve anything in div1, and 95% people I know have this period. (That can not be seen on my rating graph because most of the times I rage quit without submitting anything.)

Also, you may manually make it a div2 by solving some random Div2A and Div2B right before a div1 contest starts, but I'm not sure that will work.

    um so become an international master, and then for the round after that submit incorrect code for each problem 2 times. That should get you to specialist or expert.

        Learn writing normal sentences before you code, just normal, not grammatically perfect, respect people who will read it.

        First comment: CONGRATULATIONS!!! My aim is to become specialist, expert. Could you give me an advice?
