>>12357173>>12356707Yes puzzles. But really get good at defence. There are a lot of shitty chess players on
chess.com that just blast aggressive moves out their ass. If you don't get good at defence you'll never progress past the assblast filter. I play over the board at a local club, I play on lichess and I play on
chess.com, I've been playing for just under a year. My chess improves way more from playing over the board (playing 50-60-70 year olds that've been playing their whole lives, and who know how to shut down any bullshit) because I'm not contending with the garbage on
chess.com. Lichess is slightly better on that front. So pretty much, low rated
chess.com, nobody plays the way your 'supposed' to, but they'll beat you, unless you learn defence, and if you don't learn defence, then you'll waste a lot of time playing against aggressive kids and you won't learn anything, other than the thrill of getting your queen out 2nd move - which will not get you anywhere in the long run.
