Very strange that neither the short write-up nor the ReadMe on github specify which time control was used for this research. Would the results change? Maybe @jcw024 can comment.
I generally assume rapid/classical/correspondence game lead to better understanding and growth. But if that's the case, maybe everyone improves at the same rate, regardless of TC.

My goal is to abandon playing chess as soon as possible. It is such a depressing time drain, its like my mind is addicted to it
I was born good, but good is relative....
I thought it was quite obvious that only playing chess games will not help you to improve. Strange we need an entire investigation to verify common sense.

He does need some training, but what should he do? What should I do with him? He plays for a club, but there is not much specific training.>>>
I had a grandmaster friend that I played with occasionally and he strongly encouraged me to study classic openings if I wanted to get better. Since then I've become aware of openings but the game wasn't about that for me. I enjoyed the potential wildness about the game. Working with the same opening repetitively sapped the life out of it for me. I would strongly recommend your little one to play puzzles each day. This site has a great set, chess.com and gameknot have lots of puzzles as well.

Good is whatever you think it is
