January 22, 2025Chess Improvement Equation Part 5
The Chess Improvement Equation:
What (0-1) * How (0-1) * Time (h/week) = Chess Improvement Score
The cost of Improvement Destroyers:
Tilt: -1 for every game played without focus.
Overthinking: -1 for every hour spent on material way above your level.
Overblown openings: -1 for every hour wasted on unnecessary theory.
Detract Tilt + Overthinking + Overblown Openings from your Chess Improvement Score, you’ll get your real chess improvement score.
