Proof that taking AP Bio will get you farther from 2400 blitz
Sort:
Just do "something" chess-related every day. Eventually you'll start recognizing stuff quickly.
If you are bored, change it up. Bored of games? Do puzzles. Bored of Blitz? Try daily. And so on.

I believe this is true with most things in life.
The time you devote to one activity or pursuit is time that you are sacrificing away from another. I could probably be a better chess player if I devoted more of my time to it - but I have a career, a spouse, and kids, and as much as I enjoy chess, I choose to spend more time on those things, instead.
So there's always a trade-off, somewhere. The trick is to find the right balance that keeps you happiest.

It has been documented in Chess.com literature that chomping on hanging pieces will get you to 2400 blitz. In fact, the creator of that theory, @HangingPiecesChomper, is now at 2500 blitz. However, I wish to introduce a new proposed theory: taking AP bio will get you AWAY from 2400 blitz. Here is why:
The best chess players, like Garry Kasparov, have long since been documented to have extremely good memory. He was given a professional IQ test and scored 135 with an exceptional memory. Additionally, Reshevesky was extremely good at visualizing positions, he was able to recall 40 shapes in order with his eyes close.
However, the problem with AP Bio is, it takes such a time commitment in requiring you to visualize the processes, that the memories push out your memories of chess. Additionally, in my case, I didn't even do well in it, i got a -1. Therefore, I spent one year of my life away from chess education, to memorize a bunch of stupid diagrams and end up failing the class anyway.
Therefore, if you want to get to 2400 blitz, chomp on hanging pieces and DO NOT TAKE AP BIO!
I didn't fully understand what you meant. By the way, how are the OTB chess tournaments going? I was going to participate one, but then I decided not to go.
Straight wins
