You only need 3 "quality" games a week to improve so focus on them and if there is time, play some blitz for fun although I highly recommend to avoid it if possible. That will allow you to fix and improve your thinking process which in turn will speed up improvement. I know blitz is fun but if you want to develop skills you need to think and you need to do thinking mistakes.Play long time control games,spend alot of time in your moves, analyze them after they end, find the mistakes and the reasons. Practice them over and over again.įor now though your best learning tool are your games. Be sure you know them with your eyes closed. It will help you understand how masters are thinking, that in turn will allow you to create a thinking process and will it also help you understand the basic opening principles and some basic strategic and rtactical concepts.Īlso elementary checkmates are necessary.
