I am horrible at getting motivation to play puzzles. Also for my rating I think I'm worse at tactics than I should be. I play more positionally and with intuition. I know barely any opening theory, most of my success has come from simply playing so many games. Never had a chess coach or spent any money on chess courses. And haven't watched educational chess videos since October 2024 because YouTube stopped working on my laptop. This laptop and chess.com has also been so laggy and has literally made me lose 200-300+ Elo many times in a day in bullet. I will have a new one in the next week or so I think. I hope to reach 2500+ bullet this year, my peak is 2498 then I tilted from lag.
2773 was when I was solving easy puzzles like hanging pieces "nonstop" I did 200,000+ on chess king. My rating has never been higher. I switched to books and my rating crashed but at least my blitz went up on the way. Admittedly the books may have helped long term but my rating did fall when I stopped solving so many hanging pieces and easy checkmate puzzles. Maybe a coincidence but maybe not. My blitz also peaked by 150+ points (both 2700+ peaks)
