I prepare some materials about improving positional skills. Frankly I just use the method from Mark Dvoretsky's books called positional pictures. Have a look. First of all we have to find an appropriate position from game. Secondly we have to start form the moment when someone plays very creative or use a new idea, which we do not really comprehend. Next we have to write a commentary and write the move order which was played in the game. Then we have to end the exercise. Finally if we gather many examples we could repeat everything before tournament. Too be honest, examples should be short. It is enoughif you find the right position with new or creative idea! I use only 3 methods in my training: I watch as many games of 2700+ as I could. I collect my postional pictures. I play as many blitz, rapid and classic games as I could. The method is slow but it is very powerful if you do it constantly and you want to achieve a goal in a long period of time. I start in 2012 when I have 2150 ELO. In 2017 I achieve FIDE Master title and in 2019 2400+ in rapid and blitz sections and 2370 in classical games. I combine all together just to repeat every exercise linked to positional pictures once again: EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #1 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #2 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #3 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #4 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #5 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #6 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #7 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #8 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #9 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #10 ANOTHER SERIES OF ARTICLES: POWERFUL PIECES (6 charpters) HOW TO WIN AGAINST GRANDMASTER?
