So I want to get to 1000 rapid rating and I have Levy Rozman's "Intermediate Chess" course on chessly so I was wondering what other things I have to do and improve like how many games a day, like how long games is, how much puzzles, habits I need to do, stuff like that. Any of you advanced chess players out there, what schedule is best for me to do if I have an hour or an hour and a half each day for chess.

There is no set number of games, puzzles, etc.

What matters more is the actual mental effort you make to learn from your mistakes.

Have you reviewed your last game?

How much time did you spend doing your review? Do you undestand what you did wrong in this position?

justbefair

What about this blunder? Did you learn what you did wrong here?

You should in my opinion focus on 1 thing: let’s say endgames. Another week it could be openings, another it could be resourcefulness, another defence etc. If you have 5 hours in a day to study chess you can do about 3 of that one specific area you’re working on. Then the remaining 2h you can do 30min tactics and 1h30 playing

Ignore levy rozman. don't focus on openings cuz is useless.

Not his Openings Course, Intermediate Chess Course for 800 - 1500 elo. But I'm just wondering what other things I can do other then study it.

My parents got me it for Christmas. What's wrong with Dream profile? I'm not a stan, I just can't find any profile picture that I like so I stuck with a simple one.

Good luck on your chess journey!

Play a lot, analyze your games, and primarily study tactics. Your knowledge of openings, endgame, middlegame, etc. will come from analyzing your games and going over grandmaster games. Only study one of those specific topics if it is clear you are specifically losing because of that topic.

-5 to 10 tactics puzzles a day. It's key to solve them in your head before you move and to do them every day.
-Basic endgames: pawn endings (opposition, triangulation), rook endings and rook + pawn endings.
-Play over annotated master games preferably old ones (Morphy, Tartakower, Spielman, Capablance, Alekhine, Euwe, Fischer, Karpov etc etc etc).
-Analyse your own games losses and draws first. Use your brain instead of just have an engine check them for mistakes.
-Play classical chess (e4/e5 e4/c5 d4/d5 d4/Nf6) staying true to opening principles. Don't study openings just yet, look at the first 5 or 6 moves and just play chess. Most of your games will go out of book by then anyway. I'd also stay clear of system openings like the london and colle but half the chess community will disagree hehe tongue.png
An example of the importance of basic endgame knowledge. If you know this endgame it takes 1 second to play the correct move even in timetrouble. If you don't you may still find it but maybe not before the clock runs out.
