>>93980237/chess/menI'm currently USCF classical time controls rated 880. If I had 15 hours a week to devote to chess starting right now how long would it take me to be 1500? Please recommend me a training routine. Don't just tell me to do tactics...(I spend half of my time doing tactics) Be as specific as possible.I'm embarrassed to show my face at the local chess club because the lowest rated players there are 1300. I literally lost 22 of my 25 placement matches. I only won twice... with one draw.
>>93982831>to be 1500A couple of years.>routineYou'll get bored. Change your schedule every week. Start with videos and try to replicate the lines explained there. If you get a book, use a physical board and try to analyze positions by yourself. Use Stockfish only AFTER you got your own idea of what to do, and always set it to show the best 3 moves, not just the main one. Getting a local coach is also better than doing everything online. Good luck!
>>93983168What sort of videos? Like on anything?Doing analysis first before using the computer is a good idea.
>>93985100>anythingYes, except speedruns.
In the past two days alone I went from 900 to 500 score, losing almost every game, because I'm playing very impatiently and in a fucked up way, pushing through, ignoring threats and trying to be creative. I don't know why I'm like this.

I broke through into being an average player(3 min games).More people at this level seem to have weird 4s waits before playing very obvious moves, and 4s before playing brilliant moves in cluttered boards. Werid.
>>93985825>>93985825>trying to be creativeThat's good anon, ignore elo and push like a mad man.
Why did this general slow down so much? Haven't been here for more than a year.
>>93991956The psycho left, thank god.
>>93992154I don't know about any specific people as I never browsed this general frequently.

>got a brilliant by castling?????
>>93994072It's for the knight sac I think.
>>93991956One person caused everyone to leave and now /chess/ has a new home on video games general
Do you guys prefer puzzles from real games or chess compositions?
>>93989143Day 2:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk6qXmyyzWw
>>93995903Tough decision. I'd say from real games, but they suck on lichess, because the board is usually filled with pieces that do nothing. Compositions are cleaner, but too difficult.
>>93989610Perhaps they are cheating by playing a second game with the computer, so they have to check every move even if obvious but also are relatively fast for complex moves? Just a guess.
>>93989610Move times being consistent no matter how obvious or difficult the move is would indicate they're using an engine, something that's usually forbidden no matter what the time controls are.
>>93998115How did Fabi end up in division 3? Damn, that format is so confusing.
