Jokes aside, I’d say it depends on your own weaknesses. I do a lot of puzzles, and I feel like my strongest area would be tactics. I had been stuck at 800-900~, but after just a month of researching strategies (with the aid of some chess literature) I’ve gone up 350~ points. I’m now learning more openings, as that is one of my weaknesses, (and switching to playing on #lichess) and I’m currently at 1412elo.
Best of luck to you
Hi everyone, which aspects of chess are the most important to practice in order to make progress at an intermediate level? Do you practice more tactics, or strategy? Is it better to put an emphasis on openings , or on the endgames? I am also curious if practice tools available on chess.com such as puzzles, drills, lessons etc really help you in making progress. Thanks!
