I just recently started seriously playing chess, and also started doing the puzzles. My rating went from 750 to 1150 in about 2 months. Puzzles do help tremendously, especially with tactics.
If chess is all about tactics everyone would be grandmasters. Tactics help to a degree but once you have a good handle on tactics, doing more tactic puzzles gives diminishing return.
Read the first word of the title.
Okay, I ignored it for a reason because its so obvious that ENDLESS puzzles would do more harm than good. I will refute what you're saying though, because I have had 3 GMs tell me that puzzles will help you improve greatly even beyond 2000. Puzzles aren't just tactics, they also have "best moves" kind of puzzles in positions that can be hard to decipher. I'll trust a GM over someone unrated any day. It also sounds like you speak from experience, with you joining in 2009 and only being 1400 so maybe you're right.
When someone is one of the best in their perspective field, they make the best teachers.
Ask Usain Bolt how to run fast and you'll be on your way to a gold medal in the 100m.
Check the date on the games I played since you pointed out when I joined and my rating. Tell me, how many games have you played since my last game played?
I sent them a message and forwarded the link. They said your blog is horseshite. No offense lol but I don't think you should be giving chess advice. I can't tell you HIS name but he's an upcoming german GM, just check that out.
Perhaps a screenshot of your conversation with the super GM. But it didn't take a minute for them to read. Just saying.
You said you would rather take the words of 3 GMs over a non rated player but I'd rather take my own word over fictional characters.
You're so dull. I sent it to them the moment you responded to me. But sure lol , fictional characters. Someone is mad
You made a claim about 3 GMs. I know a lot of GMs, but they don't know me because we're not actually acquaintances or friends. However, I asked a GM, I can't name, to review my blog ideas and he said it was good as long as people would actually do the exercises. He said, the problem with most people is they do not want to put in the work but get the results they feel entitled to with minimal effort and work. Perhaps he is correct.
If you want dull, you're as dull as a modeling clay butter knife.
