There is definitely a sweet spot in learning to play chess; too much, your performance declines. My training protocol for maximal improvement(empirically derived): Practice 25 tactics, play 5 games reviewing after each game... Repeat 3 times daily. When you are reviewing the key thing for your opening is to ensure you get out perfect. Your first 10 moves should be absolutely flawless...Your next objective should be gain a tactical advantage which tend to arise by your opponent making a mistake... be patient don't force it. Once you have the advantage, rapidly trade off pieces. My claim to fame... I drew a FIDE Master in the 2020 online Olympiad[1].[the most unlikely draw based off of ratings.]Also, had the 11th most unlikely win in that Olympiad. [2] Also, wrote tactics app that I am kind of embarrassed to share on HN. But, here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chestergrant.tacticsdojo https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chestergra... Why would I need to write a tactics app? Well, I teach it. Not all tactics are created equal. Some tactics you will not see it again in your lifetime in a real game, so why practice it. My app focuses on the common patterns. Also, I wanted a reporting function to see how much my students are practicing their tactics in one view.
