Do you think taht doing puzzles is more important than playing real game ?

Doing minimum 100 puzzles daily can help you reach 2000 rating in any format easily within 1 year(experience).....and i do not know whether puzzles will help you after you reach 2000 lichess rating.

play more real games and do less puzzles period
Agree

and analyse more.

'I claim that nothing else is so effective in encouraging the growth of chess strength as such independent analysis, both of the games of the great players and your own' - Botvinnik

Playing is undoubtedly more important, but

If you have a limited time say half an hour, a couple of puzzles is a way better use of your time than playing blitz or faster

its whatever is more important to you at the time

Little update :

I just pass today 2000 elo in problem and your advice really helped me a lot, so, i just wanted to thank you guys !

Hi,

i'm asking myself this question because i just restart to do a lot of puzzles these days and i have reached 1700 elo, that's great ! But the problem is that i still suffer to find my moves in real games and i make a LOT of blunders so i'm asking myself if i should do more puzzles and play less or play more and do less puzzles ?
Thanks for you response in advance !

I think puzzles certainly have their place but application of what you learn comes out on the board in real games. If you enjoy puzzles, by all mean continue. But your (and mine, for sure!) in-game performance sounds like it's missing something critical - perhaps more dedicated analysis of our losses. If only I wasn't so freakin' lazy...hahaha!

@vorveg123 Tactics are absolutely vital in order not to lose a game fast (on the flip side to win fast when your opponent lets you).

I personally aim to split my time into 50% playing and 50% puzzles.

Puzzles are important because they help you isolate and practice Themes/Motifs. A good analogy is body builders that train a specific muscle group in isolation. In order to always see knight forks, you have to do hundreds of knight fork puzzles.

For your specific rating range, I suspect that you still hang a lot of pieces. There are not puzzles that help train against this. However I do have a few suggestions:

1. stepchess.com has a very good collection of beginner puzzles
2. When you play a game, save the positions where you hang a piece in one move. Rewind the position by one move. Save those positions to a collection. Wait until you have about 100 of these positions. Then go through them in random order and think of what move you made and what would be a better move. You will start to see patterns where you lose pieces (long distance bishops, backwards knight moves, etc...)

Source: I've been playing for about 4 years and struggled for a long time with one move blunders, so I've thought about this a lot.
