Doing straight number counting all the way through would actually be going about it the hard way.
This way is far more varied, interesting, potentially useful, and likelier to be accomplished.
It's like the difference between a military march versus summer hiking vacations with family and/or friends.
Anyway, continuing:
Game against a 1906.
This might be a good candidate for my "Castling is for sissies" series, given I was only a 1697 in this game, i.e. ranked over 200 points lower than my opponent , yet managed to "uncastle" and eventually checkmate him.

Came across the following, which was being featured as s live broadcast by YouTube. Don't know if the clip, a pseudomentary on black holes, will last any length of time, but, there's only one way to find out, so ...
Didn't realize it at the time, but this game would make a decent entry in the "Castling is for sissies!" category.
Constant harassment of the light-squared bishop and Queen eventual made my higher-ranked opponent unravel ...
