Listen to suggestions, take the best out of them, learn pawn endgames

When you are beginning with something, the risk is you get a lot of suggestions, many of them unrequested, some requested, some connected to how you play, some generic, some... you name it.

In a sparse order:

• Study opening principles but do not study any openings
• Study endgames
• Find an opening you like and check master games featuring it
• Do only Italian for white, for black only Pirc as reply to e4 and KID otherwise
• Do not study any opening until you are 1800
• Do more puzzles
• Play at least 65% of the time, you can't always study
• Check the engame drills
• Don't focus on openings, check *** on YouTube since he explains everything very well (the guy's focus is on openings)
• Read books on endgames

And I thought my problem were tactics and middle game, at least according to my statistics, I am doing a little better in openings and endgames.

This said, I really have a problem with pawn endgames, I do not understand well basic concepts, the Zugzwang drives me crazy and I often lose my advantage in middlegame and endgame.

I tried some drills here, I checked out some books in kindle unlimited, I even managed to find a book for beginners there with no diagrams (even if diagrams are referred to into the text). It is Chess Endgames for Beginners by Larry Gilbank, if you want to see a chess book without diagrams, but please do not buy it unless they add the diagrams.

From Lessons > Endgames > Pawn > Intermediate Wins > Learn I found the following course on Pawn Endings:

https://www.chess.com/lessons/pawn-endings-beginner-to-expert

I think this is exactly what I needed, let's see what I think later! Probably the course will become later too difficult to grasp every concept, like many other courses that go from beginner to expert, but I can always repeat the course later. Or break it if it is too intense. I have here a reminder to restart it!

This said, my training regime will next look as follows:

• I will dedicate a lot of time to pawn endings,
• I will play every now and then my daily games, it looks like they last forever. Sometimes I am excited to do them, sometimes not that much, really. If you lose you are in a losing position forever, and I do not like to resign, since I think it is a missed chance to learn for a beginner;
• I will try to play a long game every two or three days. 30 minutes is a bit too little and I often have to hurry too much in the endgame. I will probably have to play with an increment of go for 60 minutes;
• I will do some random puzzle rush to relax every now and then;
• I will copy some of the failed puzzles in my notebook of failed puzzles;
• I will try to update my notebook of lost games, with highlight of the point where I lost the game (the last moment when I passed from advantage to disadvantage). I wonder if it will help improving;
• I will play blitz if I feel like and will try new openings there, but I already have too much to do, while blitz games are indeed my last focus;
• I will try to play OTB in the weekend, there are quite some possibilities to do it in Berlin.

Would you change something in my plan?
What does your training plan look like?

This said, I won't stream all my trainings, I think seeing me studying pawn endgames would be too boring.
