I have finally achieved a long held ambition: a BHGS ranking in the top 100 UK Art de la Guerre (ADLG) players. Even better, I have just scraped into the top half of the rankings.
At the end of 2022 I was ranked 130th of 185 players which was my second worst ranking. I managed to improve in 2023 to end the year 109th of 186 players.
As I wasn't playing much at the start of this year, my ranking slipped to 131st of 192 players by the end of April. This was basically a quirk of how the rankings are calculated.
However, I played in the Northen League in May and did well. It was my best ever ADLG result. I was both pleased and surprised at how well I'd done. Afterwards I felt I'd finally made some progress with ADLG and about time too: I've been competing since 2017.
It was satisfying to see the effect its had my BHGS ranking. I expect this to be something of a high point because I'm not competing all that regularly, but it's nice to achieve something no matter how fleeting.
