These are the top 5 tips to become a chess wizard !
- Work on your openings. It is hard but in today’s times, you cannot escape the opening preparation. Analyze at home and have big files that you look at and update every now and then.
For that quick brush up before the game, have a second set of short and easy-to- remember prep files on your computer.
- Spend some time everyday solving a couple of combinations. It keeps the brain working and improves tactical vision.
- Follow all the top tournament games. This is very important and all professional chess players do it every single day. They only rely on guessing work and do not make use of an analysing engine.
- Study a good chess book. Read books such as ‘Positional Decision Making’ by Gelfand. It is brilliant. There are so many other great chess books. So much to learn !
- Play tournaments and analyse your games. If done regularly, this will rapidly improve your game. Also, play blitz ! Because, sometimes you just want to have fun.
