improvement. I'd like to say enjoyment, but many things I put myself through for improvement are not that enjoyable. playing until you're about to puke, analysing until your head hurts, feverishly twitching through the night moving pieces in some nightmarish position half-asleep. it is my idea of fun, but 'enjoyment' isn't the right word for it.

How many hours in total have you dedicated to studying chess?
come to think of it, I've done 2-4 hours of tactics alone daily the first 1½ years.
