I remember reading something in an older codex about a successor chapter being an 'Inheritor of the Primarch' or something with similar wording to this, meaning that they were essentially very similar in strategic disposition, organization, etc.

Also I am personally curious if this is a thing as I have a Marine army painted like a main founding chapter, but I want them to be their own independent (my) dudes. But I do like the paint scheme, so I was wondering if there is precedent for some new successor chapter to basically try and copy their parent chapter very closely.

This opens up an interesting question of *why* such a chapter might exist... who knows lol.

Would some second (or later) founding chapters specifically have their own sucessors? Like many they got too big and decided to split and grow a new chapter?

Or how does this work, can successors only come from the 18 originals (or 9 loyalist legions presumably)?

I do traditional puzzles on Lichess but I find that it doesn't quite transfer over to my Blitz. These are typically 3-5 move calculation puzzles where I take a few minutes. It's great for my rapid I guess, and is more "proper chess".

But my Blitz is not doing great these days, and I've never thought about how to properly train for Blitz. I find that I don't manage time well if I get into a winning position, and otherwise just let my board vision go to crap when time gets low and/or position gets unfamiliar.

It seems like maybe one would be better served with many 'more basic' 1-3 move puzzles with a time constraint? Do any sites have something like this, and does this make sense?

How does one best train and improve their Blitz outside of "just playing"?

For reference, I am just about 2000 rapid, 1750-1850 blitz (lots of variance depending on my mental alertness...) and hover around 2300 on the puzzles (all on Lichess).
