I want a online chess site that will improve me by a good amount of rating… Any recommendation?  I also would like if you can mention the course that it is there that will help me…


I am 1800 rapid

1600 blitz (not accurate)

1300 bullet


Please if know a site to improve the way I can think fast, say it because I am pretty bad at speed chess.


Thanks!

Oh right maybe that is good. I actually wanted someone to speak about it… I wanted to ask whether it is really worth paying or not. I feel like it sees my mistakes and recommends puzzles and those things, but I am not sure yet…

Hi Shadow, 

Eh, Aimchess sounds great but is it really? With some personal effort to extract blunders from your own games and create a dossier to play them over and over, you will probably gain more perspective that having it done by a third party at a very low depth. You are fairly strong, therefore huge blunders might not affect you, but structural mistakes, inaccuracies, etc. I wouldn't bother looking at a computer eval for inaccuracies (70-150 centipawns) without a 30 depth. 

Okay thanks!

You weren't very clear if you wanted to improve your overall rating or was it just for blitz. 

For blitz: openings (same openings) + puzzle rush (or your own configuration of woodpecker method - I use Chess Hero, with a sample from my own games, from very easy to relatively normal positions, it's just to keep my juices flow not to beat Hikaru at puzzles). Also, for speed, if you struggle with 5 min blitz, fire up a hundred games at 2+1' (rated, unrated, it doesn't matter). Thoughts? I want to hear your perspective (you'te way better than I am). 

I meant mostly in blitz and bullet, I wanted to get 1800 in them. I actually never did puzzle rush, so probably that explains it XD I think you have a point, I will try play 2+1 tomorrow (it is quite late here)…. I will tell you about the results, thanks again

For strategy, my plan is to read something like Pachman's 3 vol series until the end of the year - it should suffice to be able to identify the general themes. Otherwise, I am more preoccupied with studying GMs' planning, so I have a few players whose games I study with interest. 

I never read Pachman's 3 vol actually. I think I might be good at planning, I also have some books that helps me understand positions …

Good night then. We are friends, we can talk more on private messages. 

Wait I am going to do puzzle rush first XD

Read the book The Chessmaster Checklist by Andrew Soltis. I have the Amazon Kindle copy and have highlight key content for quick review. At a minimum, download the sample and read it. https://www.amazon.com/Chessmaster-Checklist-Andrew-Soltis-ebook/dp/B09BD87WZP/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Practice the first 15 moves of your openings and the defenses relentlessly. Several hours a week minimum. Do so at www.chesspractice.com. Do what if practice as your opponent won’t always make the best move.

After each game copy the PGN, go to www.chesspractice.com, analyze, and play variations. Your analysis of a game should be 20+ minutes per game. TAKE NOTES WHEN YOU ANALYZE.

Many past chess masters have many notebooks in which they analyzed their games and variations. Bobby Fischer and Yasser Seirawn are two great examples. You can go to Iceland and see Fischer’s notebooks.

Taking notes is very easy In today’s computer world. All you need to do is take a screenshot of a noteworthy position and post it in a document along with a comment or two. At www.chesspractice.com, you can easily save any practice position or game and put a link to it in your notes for review and to practice again. I use an iPad so it’s easy to do screenshots and I put my notes into Notes, a free Apple app. REVIEW YOUR NOTES FREQUENTLY.

Chessfactor website might be worth a shot, last time I checked it was free too, just have to sign up.

He has a game with 94-95% accuracy after 40 moves, which has ended in a draw :-)))) against another cheater.
