A rematch after 3 years on lichess

I wouldnt be so surprised, but today i met the rival who played with me one of my first games on lichess.

Lol you improved a lot in three years

Indeed. What is your method?

@nh78 my method isnt difficult, i trained mostly by watching lichess TV (slow controls) and solving 27000 chess puzzles here

@orionchess #1
Nice color match as well, perfect :)

@orionchess:
Yes, you improved a lot.
Maybe are also you in the fast learning age between 10-20? Otherwise you maybe can tell us your age.

@orionchess wow, do you do lessons?

@Cuxhaven my age is 19
@eatchipss no, i didnt do and lessons and never had chess coach. Self-training only.

Any lessons *

@Cuxhaven In my opinion the 'fast learning age' is probably a false correlation. Most people have more time to spend on stuff when they're in that age than they do when they're older. And as people get older they also become likely to think "their way" of learning is okay, and blame lack of results on IQ, age, or on anything and everything else besides "their way."

I learned how the pieces moved at 17, and was extremely casual until I was well beyond 20 years old but decided I really wanted to improve! Same story as @orionchess btw - do tactics until your eyes bleed, and then do some more.
