And I'm not only talking about the playing part, but everything else : interface, scores, ELO, translations, game lobby and table options, karma, zombie/quit/resign/out of time, tie, ... And you would have (or maybe even still will) gain lot of time if you improve your knowledge about all that before facing issue that you might never face if you knew these things better. But of course, feel free to ignore my advices if you still think it's useless and counter-productive to know these kind of stuff.

That's a bit of a strawman. I don't think knowing things is useless or counterproductive. Rather, I think I can learn the same thing in less time without starting and finishing a game.

As soon as I asked "what's training mode?" I did some keyword searching and found it immediately. Maybe 1 minute.

Let's suppose I played games instead. Maybe 10 games start to finish, 10 minutes each. 1 hour and 40 minutes spent. I might STILL not know what training mode is.

It's all about amount of learning divided by amount of time spent learning. "Playing games" is a research method, but it's the slowest research method available to me.

And how much time did you lose figuring out why you can't do an action because of low karma and how to change that ??
But again as i said, feel free to ignore that advice and keep losing time on other potential issue, it's your time after all.

Literally two seconds. The error reporting on the framework was very helpful there for a change.

I wrote this post anyway, just in case there was a quicker way. It's still easy to cheat and give myself easy wins on my own game to get my karma back up to 100 than it is to actually play someone else's game.

Responding to you seems to be my biggest timesink lately, but I still learn more in the process of that than I do in the process of playing games.
