Oh I just checked your stats. You're a bullet and blitz junkie; well in that case there's no hope for you. Oh just kidding; bullet is rubbish for anyone who isn't already very good, but blitz can be okay as long as it's done in moderation. You're not doing it in moderation. Good blitz players rely on their store of patterns to move quickly. How do they get these patterns? By playing long slow games that give them time to think. You're not doing that, so basically you're just perfecting your errors. And what's with the ChessMentor? There are dozens of great courses you should be doing and reviewing. OK, there's your free pep talk from Coach 'Dog.

The problem is that i don't have time for both now. Only study i'm willing to invest time in. Your response is quite contradictory. So basically my progress isn't good since don't play standard. What if I just play one 30 minute game per week? Btw, you've done a lot of chessmentor.

You need to play and study constantly if you're going to improve. Not what you want to hear, but it's true. On the weekdays you study and then play tournaments most weekends. When you're not studying and you're not at a tournament, you should play online, or maybe better yet, analyze your tournament games from the weekend. You need to sleep, eat, and breathe chess. Stopping play will not help that at all.

I got from 962 U.S.C.F. to 1796 in 18 months by focusing on chess. Sure, I am a younger player (junior in high school) and adults don't improve as rapidly as kids do, but outside of my schoolwork, chess has become most of my life. And that includes playing regularly. If you play irregularly, I suspect you will regress.

It's possible, but it's hard. It requires dedication. You need to be playing a lot. Look at all the players whose ratings rose a lot in a short span of time (say 300 points in a year). They all have one thing in common- they played and studied very hard. Alex Lenderman is often an example people use- he was playing hundreds of tournament games each year as his rating shot up. I don't know if you can quite be expected to do that, but you cannot improve without playing. It just won't happen

Yeah bullet is almost completely useless as it's not anything like real chess. Blitz can be useful for testing openings, and if you don't have time for long online games, but frankly a lot of players, definitely including myself, play too much blitz.

Studying chess an hour or two a day and playing about 2-3 tournaments a year has worked out pretty well for me. In my opinion every day you should play a 15 minute game, do 10 tactics puzzles on chesstempo, and read an hour in Amateurs Mind by Jeremy Silman. Also if you have extra free time give his Complete Endgame Course a shot. If you have a chess club in your city that meets once a week try to go to that too.

The other series of courses I'd recommend is GM Wolff's tactical motifs. I think there are around 30 (maybe a few more) and have been recently upgraded by the chess.com team to remove any errors. Learning to be a whiz at tactics will definitely help your chess and allow you to punish folks who just memorize stuff without understanding. All of that said, there is probably only so high you can go rating wise without the dreaded memorization of openings. That ceiling is pretty high though according to some masters I've read; maybe even as high as 2000.

In general, opening systems are not designed to be memorized but actually understood in terms of ideas and principles. You can try analyzing a game between grandmasters and doing your best to grasp what was going through each players' minds when they were playing, but it will be difficult to gain anything substantive without already laying down the foundation of your chess knowledge upon which you should constantly be integrating and consolidating information from various sources. The main problem with approaching openings as something to be memorized is that if your opponent plays a move that is out of "book", you will probably have a hard time finding the most optimal way to proceed in most games (and often burn valuable time on your clock if it's a tournament game). This is because purely memorizing lines isn't at all an effective way of learning, and it is every bit as important to figure out why certain moves are 'bad' just as much as why other moves are 'good'. Think of being well versed in your chosen opening systems as being more prepared to pose questions to your opponent, while also being ready to answer whatever questions your opponent might try throwing at you. Openings are not merely limited to the first few moves but can often influence the 'flow' of the rest of the game, being involved in tactical motifs, positional superiority, better piece coordination, pawn structures, and more. Consider opening theory as the result of decades (even centuries) of super strong players working out the strongest ways to build and maintain an advantage in tems of developing a typical game through each stage (opening, middlegame, endgame) and those back-and-forth conversations both on and off the board were continually refined through expert study and practical tests in competitions and today has contributed to how every modern player plays, whether they're an amateur or master.

Thanks for the suggestions! Lots to think about here. As for why I have an older account and have only played a few games... Well... all I can say is that I'm not used to being bad at things, so I give up. I'm accustomed to catching on quickly, and in the past when I've tried chess I felt overwhelmed by getting better... when it didn't happen fast I dropped it and when to something else. I've grown, and am hoping to have more fun with it this time around.

good point. But they would quickly learn this. I expect they would be very good at correspondence chess though as they would have more time to recall what they have learned from their studying as they would probably take their studying at a slower pace so that they could learn more and would prefer to have games at a slower pace as well so they could play at their maximum

No. I downloaded chess clock from Google Play in case I might get to play OTB. I used to play with/o it when I was in high school (1994). I played in a joke tourney with infinite time setting. Haha. But I think we were just lazy to strain our brain too much. I get to play two or three games in one day. I only got my interest in chess back in 2011.

Years ago when I was a member of a chess club, clocks were always used even in casual games. I wouldn't want to play without one. First, having a time control limits the duration of the game. Second, I think it's an important part of the game for "good" players. It's not enough to come up with the right move eventually; you've got to come up with it in a timely manner. Yeah, I know some think a player isn't "good" unless he's rated at least 2000 or something but I disagree. I would bet most people who play chess have never played a rated game. They're not even good enough to know they're bad. We've all been there. You ask, "Do you play chess?" He answers, "Yeah, and I'm good. I haven't lost a game in a couple of years." He thinks he's good because Uncle Bill is even worse. What I mean by "good" player is one who has at least a working understanding of opening, middle game and endgame theory; is able to see at least simple combinations and at least occasionally makes very good moves; has belonged to a chess club and or played in tournaments, and although he lacks the skill to produce a brilliancy himself, he has enough knowledge to understand and appreciate one when he sees it. 2351a5e196
