I preferred the original title:
> How To Learn Chess As An Adult (or, how I went from 300 to 1500 ELO in 9 months)
Because it showed that the person writing this “how to learn” was speaking from personal experience.
There are too many articles online that say how to learn something, but the author may never have actually tried it themselves and are instead writing based on other sources. Or worse yet, now in 2023 they may have asked ChatGPT how to learn something and just copy-pasted what it said.
Changing the title to just:
> How to learn chess as an adult
Is a mistake IMO, and makes it easier to skip past this article.
