Originally posted by range blasts1) Set a self-limit number of games. This is a very important step. If you really want to improve your chess, you probably shouldn't play more than about 50 games at a time, but 30 is even better.
Hey guys! I just became a subscriber 😉... Now.. I did this to try to improve my chess, what should I do while I'm a subscriber?
2) Watch out for game time controls. Whether you are considering joining a clan or a tournament, check to make sure the time controls are manageable.
3) Don't join more than two clans, and consider joining several smaller-banded tournaments (rather than fewer big-banded tournaments, where you will occasionally be swamped with games all at one time).
Have fun!
Both witty and coq give good advice.
As a new-ish subscriber I have to say the number of games I'm playing makes a big difference in my ability to learn. For example, if I am trying out a new opening line I may join an octet so I can try it out on several players of equal skill. If I want to try and focus on my midgame and work on some tactics I try and play less games.
The best advice I can give is to accept the game I just sent you =)
