The love of chess

I started playing chess a few months ago kinda just goofing off in the beginning playing without really thinking (makes me look bad I feel). Recently though I’ve really fell in love with it and I am trying to take it seriously now. What are the best ways to learn? Is just playing and doing game analyzing and seeing your mistakes enough?

Of course playing and analyzing games and remembering your mistakes is most importang. But i think you should concentrate more in slving puzzles. 53% success is not great. Take more time on puzzle. Calculate, do not guess moves. Guessing moves in puzzles has zero benefit for your playing strength. And if you buy premium membership on chess com, you can do dozens of lessons.
