Road to the Grandmaster title - Increasing the speed

I decided to increase my dedication to reach the Grandmaster title and started to study 2 hours tactics daily. Today was the first day and it went well. I also stream all my training session at https://www.twitch.tv/attilaturzo This way I can stay in contact with many friends and also they, who watch can benefit from my efforts.

 Let me share a few puzzles I solved today from

                        Chess Tactics for the Tournament Player

Today I was listening the Perpetual Chess Podcast. I found it in the summer and I like it so much. It is a weekly podcast about a chess player, or chess coach or chess organizer about his life. Today I listened a podcast about a young american player USCF Master Vinesh Ravuri who made a huge 1000 rating improvement in 3 years. 

• Vinesh told the story of how he got into chess, and shared why he thinks it took multiple exposures to the game, in both the U.S. and India, for a passion for it to take hold. 

• Vinesh and I discussed the many ways to try to improve at chess, and discussed which methods have been most effective for him. Spoiler: he has done a ton of tactics puzzles. 

• Vinesh shared a few book recommendations for different levels, and talked about the challenges he has faced as his rating has climbed and his free time has become more scarce. 

I read also about a Polish player, Andrzej Krzywda who decided to reach International Master level from 2100 and he made an International Master norm. His journey is also a good inspiration. 

You can read a deep interview about his journey at Chessentials

Today I will play in the Titled Tuesday and Stream it Live.
