is chess.com distracting?

what i mean is that there is always new articles (which have not helped me improve by the way), streams , and other kind of *&#% happening all time so you insted of playing chess get busy in reading articles, blog, watching streams whereas other sites are quieter and less distracting.

what are your thoughts

My thought is that if you really wanna play, then you don't have a reason to watch these articles. The problem arises when you don't put your mind into playing chess, thus watching said articles.

I do not think that this site is distracting and is fun as calming to the mind for me. I do focus on my other stuff I have to do, so no.

The reason you do the things you do in chess matter far more than the things you actually do. Motivation drives action. If you are just doing the things you do to pass time, then you will not really improve. It is not about playing chess vs reading articles, as you improve you would likely have to do all of these things. If you do not actively use these resources to improve your game however, it will not matter how much you do. A person who is truly motivated to improve will go further with only a few of these things than someone who is not motivated attempting to "use" all of them.

i am motivated i do around 20-30 puzzles , 1 endgame everyday and my rating also improved from 1250 to 1450 . all i am saying is people waste time on site insted they should focus on improving by study books as watching streams and reading articles wont help u improve

No one is forcing you to watch anything. Looking at your stats and ratings, you are just wasting your time anyways.

What I also find strange is that your fast chess ratings is low, while you have over 2000 rating in tactics.

your rating and stats is a big joke , u r just a troll . my blitz rating is low because i have not played many blitz game  and i dont like playing blitz.. [removed]

Please don't post profanity in our forums or advertise competitor web sites - wishing ill on other members is also not acceptable. I have edited these out of your previous posts.
