Supercharge Your Chess Improvement in 2025

I didn't understand that (0.05) what 0 and .5?

My score is 3.24, but it feels to high since I am only a 1800 FIDE, and I don't think I am improving that much. Anyway, I am sure of my ability to focus, but not so sure about working on the right areas or the quality of that work.

Tried the grinder routine in last year’s Christmas break, it did give a pinch of improvement in my on the board games the following year, though no constant improvements after it. Hope this method helps. Will try this!

Greetings,
First of all, I am a very bad chess player. You could say me like around 1200 in lichess. I want to improve my chess cuz I am only of 13, it could help me afterwards. But, as there are some other works also in my life, I am able to give only 30 to 40 mins a day (approx). In lichess, your blogs were the first blog that I started to read and it was opening my eyes but still I need improvement. In this blog, i am still having some doubts. I am not cleared that how should I put scores on What and How. And also, how much improvement score is better, bad, excellent, etc. I hope you can help me out, not only in this topic, but also to make me an intermidiate player of around 1600 or 1800 in 2025. It will be very helpful to me .
Thanking you,
Mahfooz

I would score myself a 0,9 - Think the What is around (0,3+0,3), the How (0,2+0,3) both okay, but the time is the limiting factor - probably about 3 h per Week... So in total 0,9.

I love these articles (I follow you on YouTube, your blog, and everywhere else) and this formula seems great, but I need to know what final score is good or bad... the benchmarks to determine if it's low or high. I get a number, but I don't know if it's low or not. Currently, it's 1.75. What score is considered decent, good, excellent, etc.?
