One of the most damaging things a young starter can do is become a blitz addict
How much time to devote to studying each part of chess at 1600?

heck yeah man. don't forget trying to flag when your opponent has 5 minutes on the clock
3 to 4 hours on week day 4 to 5 hours on weekend

We are. Also, bullet is objectively the worst thing that can happen to a beginner's development. Kind of like real bullets. I'm starting to see why we call it bullet chess.
yes your write
Quit schooling first
beginner's should not play bullet because they won't think properly

Hi, I'm a 13 year old chess player who is currently 1600 in rapid and 1400 in blitz. How much time should I spend approximately on solving puzzles, studying openings and endgames, and playing actual games?
Depends...
Depends on what your goals are.
Depends on what you mean by "improve"
If your goal is to get better at online speed chess, then just hit tactics, and nutty openings hard.
If your goal is to improve in OTB tournament play? Youre going about improving wrong.
You should also play on another chess site called lichess.org to improve youir skills
suggest not playing very fast chess. At your level you make many mistakes during your game and playing fast chess only reinforces your mistakes.
ask a very strong player to look at your games to point out your mistakes. .
Do not play very fast chess. Especially do not play bullet,.
Instead discover the mistakes you make over and over again. have a strong player look at your games--so he can tell you your mistakes.
bro
where are you gonna get a strong player
and why are you telling not to play bullet
me and all my friends, imean all of my friends improved by only playing bullet
i mean i know i cant calculate a lot in bullet but you will get the experience to play the best moves fast.
and whos stopping him from playing bullet
*not trying to start a fight, you should just not insult chess modes until you dont know about it or if you're bad at it
It's not about making the best moves quickly, it's just about making the best moves. Bullet is a fun way to reflect on the progress you've made so far and a decent way to practice flagging. Rapid and classic, however, is where you make the progress you reflect on. In rapid and classic, you have the time to thoroughly analyze a position to spot the best move and maybe even learn something from your analysis. In blitz, you still have the time, but it's so limited that you also have to keep in mind the amount of time you both have, and that can cause distractions. In bullet, don't even think about analyzing. Just think about how much time you each have and when to flag. This is why people generally look down on bullet in terms of improving.
Agreed.
What matters is making the best moves
yeah after you flag dont talk to me
Chill bro, btw what's flag
A flag is when you repeat moves to force a win by time or force a draw by time if you only have a king. It appears mostly in 1|0 bullet. If you want to improve your bullet rating, it's a good trick to know. It's what carried me to 1000
oh
