Training Plan

Training Plans

For the past week, I've been trying to create a training plan for chess. I've made a rough draft of this, but it's trash. I thought I'd Chess.com my plans. I took notes on Chess Dojo's video about making a Chess training plan. Basically, plans have 3 main parts 

1: Play 
If you only have time for 1 game every 1-2 weeks, make it a 30+ minute game, or a classical game.

Analyze these games afterward to see any mistakes in them, learn from these mistakes.

Focus on these games, remove all distractions, if you need music to focus , put music in the background.

2: Learn
Choose a book or course to study on a topic you want to learn.

Do this for 30-45 minutes per day and 5 days a week.

Play through games/examples multiple times to increase retention

3: Solve

Work on calculations consistently, 30-45 minutes per day, and do it daily.

Go over each problem you get wrong to retain tactical patterns.

Use a physical board when working on difficult calculations exercises.

Summery:

Three main parts to a training plan: playing, learning, solving.

Focus on one project at a time, whether it's improving calculations, or working through a book, course, or opening.

DON'T FORGET TO PLAY! Invest your full effort into you're games and analyze your decisions for reall chess growth.
