I actually have an observation about this: it's difficult for me to get some feedback from whole chess games because the loop between a move and its consequences can easily be too long while the situation changes pretty fast, in my eyes. Would my play be better if I chose differently seven moves ago? Pfft, who knows anymore.

I have a much better time with action or racing video games precisely because the feedback loop is very tight. Finally figured out that I should try chess puzzles, increasing the length gradually.
