Solve puzzles by theme. Look your history of games. Check your statistics of themes played. From there you start. I’d say 10 easy, 5 intermediate, and 3 difficult. If you still have energy left, add 1 insanely difficult.

Thanks for the idea happy.png I've never thought of looking at my history to find puzzles. It's a good idea though and I'll start doing it!

I dont know the right answer but this is how I would approach if I ever want to be serious about chess. Atleast 3 minutes of easy puzzles (rated <1400) to train my memory and pattern recognition. Im talking about one/two moves solutions that you can see in few seconds. Then I would move to difficulty of my level and a bit lower but near my level. Do 5-10 of them and take as much time as you need to find the right combination of moves. Dont make a guess, try your best. They would take up one minute to five minutes of time for each of them. Some less, some more it doesnt matter. Next step is serious training where you pick 1-3 puzzles of hard difficulty and really work on them. They are most demanding. After that Im sure you havent wasted your time and progress will be shown in your games eventually! I would finish with one series of puzzles by theme of your choice so you know what go expect. Pick difficulty from 100 to unlimited so you get all kinds of puzzles. You dont have to take these so serious, just glance over them. Incorrect ones save up for tomorrow and try them again.

I like the idea of starting out easy and getting harder. Thanks for the advice happy.png

You know, I've been doing puzzles for many years. Ever since childhood, I was told that it helps to develop the brain and various functions. And the truth is, after all, I have always differed from my peers in my ingenuity. At one point, I realized that I needed to find a way to speed up the solution of puzzles in order to move on to other, more difficult ones. Then I was told about the platform https://crossword-solver.io/crossword-answers/usa-today/. It is with the help of it that I can solve puzzles many times faster. I advise you to try it too!
