I mainly play blitz and daily.
My chess study comes from free weekly chess.com lessons, mainly videos of Gotham Chess and sometimes other random youtubers. I love using free daily engine analysis on games I potentially won and using self-analysis on other games and later I realised that I started finding my first brilliants and I was happy about them.
However, I do not feel like I can progress faster without grinding chess for another 3000 games. Do I really have to study openings? Because I feel like the rest is fine (except blunders of course), still very lazy to memorise first 10 moves. Hopefully there is some approach for guys that like playing, what I would call, situative chess
I would’ve wanted to ask you to highlight anything particular about my statistics or analyse couple of my games if you can.
I love chess world and chess.com particularly, hopefully I will make it to 1300 until the end of this year despite I do not grind like I did last year. This year I would use smarter approach as I feel that rising in ELO becomes harder.
