Does playing chess 3 hours a day pay off?
Sort:
Yes
You should not only play, you should also analyse your lost games.
No. Set goals: E.G.: I want to solve 10 puzzles correctly and win two games.

I do not think playing time has that much to say. I myself have played at least two hours every day for several years, but have developed very little. Notices that the rating can fluctuate a lot from week to week, but I care less now about the rating than I did before. I only play because I think it's fun, I'm not chasing anything anymore. Been a little indifferent, really think I was a better player before.

The secret to improvement is studying and analyzing.
Playing is great to practice what you've learned, but real improvement comes from study.
So I recommend spending at least half of those 3 daily hours studying, if you're serious about getting stronger.

Playing is studying - you begin to see patterns just by playing....of course analyzing your games helps....but yes, the more you play, the better you should get. I know that's true me at least...I don't study anything other than my own games, and have been improving on average 100 points a month...playing a couple hours a day about

in my words, playing is to measure your strength and what level of tactics/books you should do or study.

3 hours a day of speed chess will do one thing. Instill and reinforce bad habits. OK that was two things
No, better analyze and study your games.
