Try to learn some simple openings and in game make sure you have all your pieces covered including the ones that cover other pieces. And also make sure yo count captures and not go into an exchange that isn't at least the sams value

Oh, of course! Balancing life and chess, the eternal struggle. First, quit your job and relationships—those are just distractions from the 64 squares of true happiness. Who needs "bills" or "emotional connections" when you can study the Sicilian Defense at 3 a.m. instead?

Second, invest in a clock. Not for managing your time, but for watching it slip away while you analyze yet another lost endgame. Time well spent, right?

Lastly, remember this: life is chess. Every bad decision is just another blunder, and all you can do is hope your opponent (aka life) doesn’t checkmate you before you grab that stale, cold coffee.

But hey, on a serious note, consider scheduling blocks for chess practice and life tasks—actually treating them as equals. Learn to say “no” when one tries to monopolize your time, and find joy in small victories both on and off the board. You’re playing for the long game here. ✌️

To balance life and chess, start by setting realistic goals for both. Allocate specific times for chess practice, but also prioritize work, rest, and personal activities. Use a time management technique like the Pomodoro method to stay focused during chess sessions. Don’t forget to take breaks and give yourself time to relax and recharge. Consistency, rather than overloading yourself, will help you make steady progress in both areas.

If you’re short on time, practice chess in smaller chunks.

Treat it the same as any vice - limit yourself to whatever makes sense for you. Maybe that an hour a day or maybe it's more. You know what your limit should be!
