Yes.

Yes.
You know what is your new reevaluated goal 8k! Still something to reach.
Donāt worry, a rankbump is how I first made it to SDK on OGS.
My rank on ogs is mostly based on correspondence games, since I have a ton of them.
I play them quickly and often without thinking, itās the only way to avoid timeouts.
6k (my actual rank, but it changes a lot) is my strenght in blitz against opponents who take usually a lot of time before playing.
When I play live tournaments (also automatic sitewide tournaments) people often accuse me of being a sandbagger. Itās probably true sinec my real strenght is probably more around 1k than 6k, but thatās not important to me. If I want to improve my rank I just have to stop playing correspondence or reduce it a lot. But as I said I donāt care, rank is just a number
@Kosh Thanks!

I am 3k on OGS and 6k EGF (real strength probably a bit higher).
