Play more slow games. I play too much blitz, lol. But, in all seriousness, I do think I need to play slower games in order to help me reach my goal of master.

@Justin Davito You can also go to the Chess Dojo's Discord server and find sparring partners there who are looking for slow online games. Usually you can find someone close to your level. I'll be playing against a guy from Nigeria on Monday who has a FIDE rating of about 2000.

Thank you!
Chess dot com Puzzles
Did you guys notice Chess dot com’s puzzle ratings dropped? I was almost 2700 and now under 1800.

Haha, yeah! I was over 3300 or something, and now I'm like in the 2400s. I understand why they did it, as the ratings were quite unrealistic. But it doesn't seem so impressive now, lol.
