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.
My BHGS ranking history has been updated. See link in the post.
