I cannot read that link, because its literally dark gray on black.
I started playing chess just under two months ago, and I figured a good way to get started would be to do puzzles to improve my pattern recognition.
That worked well enough at first, but my improvement has since stagnated, with my puzzle rating currently hovering around 2,300.
Since grinding out more puzzles seems to have little effect, is there anything else I could be doing for better skill progress?
For context: my goal is to reach 800 rapid rating by the end of the year, which I feel should be doable.
