 How much can I improve chess just by playing and analyzing 1 game a day and solving a certain amount of puzzles a day (50-60 puzzles)?

Hi, I got 1933 at lichess.org in two years which equals to 1800 blitz rating on chess.com . I recommend you to solve easy chess puzzles. Like seeing an important pin and knowing how exploit it in seconds. Play only 2 or 3 times. But solve 400 , 300, 600 chess puzzles every day.

And remember if you're blind to these advices, you are deserved to stay at any rating you are now. Bye

True but a little harsh.

The plan you suggested might bring you to a 1400 or 1500 rating.

playing and analyzing games is very helpful, but will only allow you to develop to the level of your opponents. To master the game you will have to play Masters

solving puzzles is helpful, but focuses on only one aspect of the game. It does not teach you positional planning, which is important after you reach the average club level. It also does not address the endgame, which may be the most important aspect of chess.

thank you very much for your answer. So what else can you suggest? I can only spare 1-1.5 hours a day for chess.

The endgame part is particularly true. The number of games I've played that went from totally winning for one side to totally winning for the other in the endgame is very high. And it's not always because of time trouble.

50 to 60 puzzles a day is far too many. Focus on quality, not quantity. I would say 5 to 10 puzzles a day is plenty, as long as you understand the tactics of the puzzles completely.

Playing and analyzing 1 game a day sounds quite reasonable. I'd say bump that up to 2 games a day, if you're able to (one with the white pieces, one with the black pieces).

But if not, 1 game a day is still quite good, as long as you take your time analyzing it, exploring different ideas that didn't materialize on the board, but might have.

Players who analyze and solve tactical puzzles will (IMO) go farther than those who merely just play, without any review or study on the side.

So many things that could affect the answer

Your current level / how long you’ve been playing / age

the length of game you’re talking about playing

how much analysis you plan to do of it, and how

The type of puzzles and how you approach them - are you gonna whack through them at 5-10 seconds per puzzle or will you be pushing yourself etc

Bottom line is: there’s no answer. You might do all of that and not improve at all. You might improve from it a fair bit. Only thing that can be said with certainty is it’s better to do that than nothing at all, but don’t rely on puzzles purely on their own as some sort of magic formula to improve (but they will help)

at your rating, just study the Italian opening and tactics.... Then analyze your game... (and cry)

Thank you for the advice. What you said about the puzzle is true. I never thought about it from that point of view. I will keep your advice in mind

yes you're right but like you say, I'll do what I can. It's better than doing nothing.

Solving 50-60 puzzles every day will fry your brain.

Try to solve 5 instead, but really solve them, don't just guess a move after 20 seconds.
