What you can learn from the greats.

If you want to improve your chess game in certain areas i would suggest you study the games of the greats.

If you need to improve your endgame and a transition into the endgame study Capablanca and Fischer.

If you need to improve your combinations study Alekhine.

If you need to study positional sacrifice study Kasparov.

If you want to get a stronger understanding of a balance attack and defense study Spassky and Botvinnik.

If you want to study how to exploit positional advantages and positional maneuvering study Karpov and Smylov.

If you want to improve your attack on the enemy king study Tal.

wow, nice!

Unclesam, I hope some of the members take my advice.. i learned alot from playin games over from Alekhine and Kasparov...  I have jumped 100 points and my blitz gone up just playing over the games of Ljubojevic and L. Stein...

I am  a Novice at this  but  please can you advise me where I can study and follow these games for reference.  and how to  go bout it.

Thanks

 Ravi T.J. You can buy certain books just on these masters greatest games also you can go online and find the games of certain masters. But if you are just starting out i would start by studying the Endgame and Tactics a book on tacticts and a book on endgames will help you more than anything at this point.

I have put some games of these masters on the forum but if you are looking for a certain master and opening  you like i will find some games for you.
