Deruku Revised Study Journal

Since I was out of chess.com for two week's, I decided to work on my chess during those two weeks. Turn's out I did the right thing. While analyzing most of my game's, most are lost if openent plays right moves. Most are wins if I play the right move's. And I figure out how to play the endgame with some pieces. Yet a Knight + bishop + king vs king, queen+pawn+king vs queen+king, queen+pawn+king vs queen+pawn+king, and rook+king vs queen+king rook+king vs two rooks+king and each in vice versa.

    So I decided to do this.

Monday, study the "win in twenty or less moves" book. This book is usefull, since I know of ways how to mate when openent has same sort of position of the book. As well learning why the masters made they move.

Tuesday, work on random endgames. Meaning I pick random pieces and try and checkmate the king. After five succesfull or non-successfull I had pieces to the other sides such as queen two or one rook two or one bishop two or one knight, ugh you get the deal

Wedsnday, Read "Pandolfinis Chess complete" by Bruce Pandolfini. Random or selected pages for thirty minutes.

Thursday, Play against the elderly, young, what ever age at the park.

 Friday, Work on endgames again. Same as tuesday.

 Saturaday, work on opening moves. (recently learn yogoslav attack modern and old line to play against the sicilian accelarated or reg dragon)

 Sunday, take a break.

 

My revised journal. And now im making puzzles. Deciding to either make them easy or hard. Either way, I decided to make a intresting training strategy for turn base.   

~~~~~~~~~~        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~      ~~~~~~~~~~~~               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

    Goes a bit something like this. First we have roughly about. . . Im guess ing 3,4, 5, 6 people talk in a instant messenger program(ill talk about some you don't need to download) And have two people play a game. Something like this

3 people - 2 ppl play, and discuss variations, and plans

4 people - 2 ppl play, disscuss variation, and plans.

5 people - 4 ppl play, disscuss variation, and plans

6 people - 4ppl play, disscuss variation, and plans.

Lowest and highest rating play if 3,4 people Average and Highest rating play if 5, 6 people.

 

Anyone agree?

 

Www.meebo.com is a site you just need a email addrease I recommand hotmail.com

www.ebuddy.com is the same as meebo, but a bit different 

only two I know, other wise you can use msn, yahoo. I use meebo mostly. 

I have a question for u
when u study openings, how deep do u study them and how many of them? 

I study each opening I know, and memorize some other opening lines, so pretty much each and every move.

sorry to be so curious :)
what openings and how many moves do u memorize?

Hmm let me see. . . Longest is 10? maybe more, I tend to forget since I dont study those longy's

wow
its funny, u probably know more about openings than i do :)

in my opinion the opening is the least important part of the game, and memorizing them is just wrong. I would recommend focusing on only one or two.

As an example, there is only one opening that i can play properly. I started memorizing the moves (when i started playing chess) and after a few weeks offchess i realized i didnt remember much, which means i lost my time.
Focusing only on 1 or 2 openings and studying/analysing them properly is the way to go I think.
U are not gonna win more games by knowing only 1 opening, but remember its not about winning games, its about learning and getting better. U are not gonna understand chess better by memorizing lines, but by analysing an opening so that u end up naturaly finding good moves even when they deviate from main lines (which happens 90%) 

I bilieve we are thinking of the wrong "opening". When I think of opening I think of setting my pieces up to play. Like a unique set of setting up, Ergo having to developed bishops and having one knight developed yet the other isnt waiting to attack. Or Something in intrest, pawn storm in the beggening of the game. Those type of opening. Hell I make my own type of opening right thier on the game, I plan to make that opening either my developing or forcing into it.
