First of all, I want to clarify that I don't do ads, I am no influencer or anything. I just write an article about a good way to use this site. 

  • Challenges to learn patterns. Idea is not to have time pressure and try to reach your best potential by facing many different situations. You then may play at your highest level by learning great moves. 
  • Fast challenges to develop automatisms. I play 10 minutes games usually. And time flies, so I need to have sort of automatic moves as soon as I see a given pattern. This is why fast challenges with easy situations is a good thing. Slow challenges help to play better, quick challenges help to play faster
  • Play with trainers at your high level (not your ELO score, the higher step). Challenges display given positions, a full game is different to reach good situations. Depending on your suscription plan, use analysis. Best situation should be "Oh, I so should have played that, it is obvious now !"
  • Play with trainers at a low level to improve openings you learn. Yes, it makes sense when you learn a new opening. You try to use it, see when it works, if you know it enough, etc. The better you know an opening, the higher your trainer level
