I started doing this in April and really works (see link) 2 books I'd barely looked at (1ea on endgames and tactics) I've now finished, this along with 6 ea. 30 or 60 min. games on chess.com each week, and I'm now winning 45% of my online tournament games instead of 20%. Still a long way to go of course, but things don't look as hopeless as they once did. Don't waste this time if COVID 19 keeps you trapped at home, make use of it and up your game. When traditional OTB returns you can move up in class. π

But if we all take your advice, we all get better, and our ratings remain the same!
@steinitzsaid I am also using this time to try and improve.
What is your goal?
I challenged you to a game since we are close in strength.
My goal is 1800 OTB, sorry to have declined your challenge, but I'm transitioning away from correspondence, so will be leaving RHP as soon as my last game is finished here.
