Very relevant question about chess improvement: what is the total number of hotel rooms, lifetime, that you have tried to enter using a wrong room key?
At least 30-40 and most were on the same day. Care to tell the story?

GM Xon Ferguson wrote an article showing how to get GM in 3 weeks some years back. While I wasn't humble enough to follow through on his advice, it may be helpful for you!

I've found it to be more helpful to deeply immerse myself in what I'm interested in than to divide my attention among various topics and constantly switch around. Enjoyment plays a big part in chess improvement! There is something to be said for having fewer options. Which of the above options is the most relevant for you? I would have to know more about your particular situation to offer specialized advice. I hope this helps!

Currently, I've opted for a constantly rotating two-week system: one week on chessable openings, one week on chessable tactics/endgames/strategy; during both weeks, I try to fill in room for books where I can find the leftover motivation.
Keep working hard!

Generally, I don't. I enjoy books on computer chess though!

Hi I have had coaching lessons from CM Logozar, and I think he is a gifted teacher. He is able to teach almost any opening, and he explains concepts instead of variations. Highly recommend!

I have been coached by Elijah LogozRAR, and that has made all the difference
As Robert Frost put it:
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
I learned all about chess from Eli;
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
How do you studying openings? Courses are obviously great, but if a person wishes to do some self-study and further personalize his openings, how would you go about it (would you look into the main line, think about the position yourself, turn on the engine from time to time, etc)?

It's generally good to start with understanding the key ideas and structures. It also helps to go through classic games chronologically and try to understand how the opening developed. Engines can be useful for exploring theory and getting new ideas though the ideas tend to stick better if you have already explored the key concepts elsewhere. Do you have any questions about specific aspects of opening study?

Hi! Feel free to ask questions about chess improvement in this thread.
You can also ask live in a free trial lesson. Enjoy!
What do you usually do when working with beginners? Usually under 1200, don't know much openings, hangs pieces frequently, etc.
How do you iron those problems out?

If you have a weekly training schedule for chess improvement (as I assume most in this thread probably do), what percentage of your time do you apportion to the following methods:

How much study time do you have each week Cody?
