Let's get started!

what is your opening?

Should I play chess if I haven't slept well last day or the day before that and the day before that

Can we have some unrated training games please?  

no, use the time to take a nap or go to sleep earlier!

How to crush the sicillian defense

How do I improve at my endgames

sure! as long as you are my friend on chess.com, I will accept your daily chess challenge!

No live games, I don't have time for those.

I am logging off now cuz I am in college tomorrow but I sent you a challenge ... and thank you

How do you get better?

repetition is key. whether you're reading an endgame book , studying an endgame study, or just playing an endgame, you need to practice doing it more than once! Once you remember basic concepts, you can apply them in a real game

How much time to you practice chess everyday?

can you be more specific?

what if you physically can't sleep 

On the stats page it says I am in like the 83 percentile.  Is 100 percent the highest of 1 percent the highest?

I do ~2 hours, it's all my schedule permits. I think 1 hour a day is necessary if you want to improve at a decent/average rate

not quite sure...

too general of a question lol

Well how do you know if you got better in a chess game?

how many games do you think one should play in a day?
