I play chess a while and I'm wondering if studying chess is more helpful to understand than play it. Tell me your opinion.

Yes and no....You can improve by studying chess tactics in different positions, but when you play 1-minute chess or blitz you don't really have time to analyze everything, and by playing, you understand how to do so much better.

Both are important.

I think playing is better, so you learn from your mistakes and other people's mistakes too.
