Yes man, it helps a lot!
In fact, now the most fun part of the game for me is defending.
Because I don’t have time to study openings or read blog posts much, I very often find myself in positions where I have to defend. And all that practice of not resigning in games really helps a lot.

@Leviackerman594 This thread is for recognizing other players’s deeds, not your own. For that, you can use the Accomplishments and Celebrations one, which you already know about, since you posted there.

@PtarmiganSlayer78 That's awesome! Congratulations! I started playing in Focus Mode as well within the last few months, and it's been really helpful in my journey so far; I've had a lot more success not worrying about my opponents' ratings. It must feel amazing to finally be at 1200, I certainly felt that way! Keep up the great work and wishing you all the best in your continued journey!
I’ve been thinking of more and more ways to correctly counter the tilt cycle. I haven’t fully developed my guide, but it’s pretty close. Focus mode is useful, especially when you are playing against someone much lower/higher rated than you. Also, we are talking about your own rating. When in Focus mode, your rating is not revealed, making you feel less annoyed when you end up in a tilt cycle.
