yes i do a lot of puzzles they are very good . I just wish I could get better at playing actual people. If I play the bots I can beat over 1000 rating but with playing actual people I can only beat 500s
You should spend more time learning openings, middle-game variations, and end games, and relatively less time playing. Try analyzing each game, and puzzle you solve. Use resources on YouTube at Chess Gaja and other channels to learn more efficiently. We offer both 1-on-1 and group lessons for a more structured learning process, have a look.

Diamond membership really seems to be worth it for some people but is it right for me? I know there are lots of features available to it and I do all the puzzles and lessons but im not improving at all . I am still only 550 rating after 2 years of membership. I appreciate that this is my fault but is it really worth me continuing with diamond for a third year if I just cant take in to memory what it teaches me. I enjoy chess and would like to improve and practice with puzzles and lessons every day but for what ever reason I am not retaining this in my memory and just forget what I have tried to learn due to lack of interlect or whatever. Just looking for advice on if I should just stick to chess . com without any paid add ons that is all .
