I am curious what is considered a good puzzle rating. Is there ANY correlation with game rating? I am currently @ 1900 or so. Is that decent?
Not really.
Like shooting into the empty goal.

My game rating is hopeless..... Simply playing more games isn't going to make me better. I've played nearly 30,000 online rapid games between chess.com and lichess and my rating has stayed around 1500. I gotta focus elsewhere in hopes of getting better. I don't play any speed chess so the time element is not important.
#6: If You Have Played Nearly 30,000 Rapid Games, Then No Wonder You Are Still Around 1500; Stop Playing For A Few Months, Then Begin Playing Again, And Trust me, You Will See A Huge Difference.

You've only played 9 rapid games on lichess, so does that mean you have played about 29,991 rapid games on chess.com! Wow, impressive!

It's actually kind of a sad story. I'd say bordering on total /obsession/addiction! LOL 25,000 games on Chess.com as tj2112 then 5,000 on Lichess.com as tbj2112. I keep quitting because it is sapping too much time and energy to try to improve. I think it came out to about 6 hours a day for 2.5 years. (A full time job??) Important things in life are definitely being neglected. Anyway. I HAD to sign up again too keep in touch with a friend who I correspond with. I'm going to TRY to limit my playing time to 2 hours a day average. Probably TMI but hey maybe it helps somebody else with the same problem.

That precisely why I am doing more tactics! The entire point of this thread. Thanks for the input. I am going to be scaling back....... Maybe not a complete break.
