Btw I'm a 1300 with no subscription. Learn principles and middlegame tactics. 600s and up already have a pretty good grasp on the game, so don't be surprised when they play well. Learning offbeat openings can definitely give you an advantage, so maybe give that a try.

I agree with the bullet, I don't play much. Maybe one game a day for fun to wind down. I play mostly 10 min or 15|10 min rapid.
