500-600 Rapid, 230 Blitz, but 1750 rating on puzzles (~1200 completed). Why do I still suck?
Any advice on improving? I know puzzle rating is not tied closely with ELO but I feel like this is a crazy huge gap that suggests I’m not living up to my current potential. Chess is a side hobby for me so I don’t have too much time to dedicate. My peak rating is 699 which was a while ago, now I’m at 585 after I lost about 70 points while tilted one night.
I suck at opening and I’ve kind of stopped playing rapid because I don’t have time. Any strategies to easily improve from here? Im not sure what opening i should learn at this level.
