There’s absolutely no limit to the amount of time your could spend getting better at chess. I personally lost interest due to the excessive levels of memorisation involved, which was also one of Fischer’s main complaints about the game.
- pmoriarty 5y ago"I personally lost interest due to the excessive levels of memorisation involved" You could play Fischer Random Chess (aka Chess360), which relieves players of the need to memorize openings, as there are way too many opening positions to make memorization practical.
- AmericanChopper 5y agoFischer Random is a much more rewarding game to play imo. There’s a lot less people playing it though.
