How i can progres?

was progress*

I too am a student I too currently have my exams. After my exams I will get a lot of time. A two months time as my vacation. And I'll soon have a tournaments of my school. Is it possible for me to win a state level tournament? Last year when I attended it I was 1234 rated. Now I am 1330. Is it possible for me to win it?

Hey....

Dear logozar,

I think you can reach 2000 this year. I think you need to analyze at least 1 of your games weekly in 30-60 minutes. Also Analyse all of your tournament games for 30-60 minutes. Study tactics daily at least 20 minutes!

I wish you the best to reach your goal!

Yes. I think you can win the tournament. Give your best to reach your goal!

Dear omaridepractice, 

I suggest you to start to play at least one 30 minutes per player or longer game and then use 30-60 minutes to analyse the game. Start to study endgames, middlegames and openings weekly at least 60 minutes.

I wish you the best to progress and reach your chess goals!

Dear Harish73,

I think you can win the tournament. I wish you the best to reach your goal!

Mr. Turzo

I am currently rated 2000 OTB and I need to study endgames.  I would like to know which endgames would be most important to study.  For example, same colored bishop endgames or rook endgames.  Thank you very much  

Dear FishPat287,

I think if you are on a 1800 level then to reach 2200 in 2 years is possible. 200 point per year gain. I think need to play more than 80 games. I suggest at least 60 games per year and 1 hour study per day.

I wish you the best to reach your goal!

Dear MDassassin08, I suggest you to develop all chess skills, opening, middlegame and endgame knowledge. Focusing on tactics and playing with higher rated opponents most of the game.

High rated blitz players most of the time also good in classical chess.

I wish you the best to reach 2500!

Dear ErnstStavroBlofeld1,

I suggest you to study this book:

100 Endgames You Must Know: Vital Lessons for Every Chess Player

If you studied it deeply and still want to study more then I suggest you to focus on rook endgame.

I wish you the best for mastering endgames and reaching your goals!

Would you suggest a black repertoire/opening book against 1.d4 for a tactical player rated around 1800? Never played 1.d4 and never studied any of the responses in too much detail.

How high rated do you think a player can get from simply not blundering

Dear Patzer8000,

I suggest you this book:

King's Indian: A Complete Black Repertoire

I think this book was born from the heart of the author, who shared his experiences in the book in a good way. The beginning of each chapter he gives a brief explanation of the variation and the analyze the lines deeply. I suggest first to study just the main lines and when you have time then start to read the sublines and when you play a game with this opening refer to the book and add new knowledge to your repertoire.

I wish you the best to improve your opening repertoire against 1.d4!

Mr. Turzo

I am looking for a Capablanca(or any other good book) game collection book,any suggestions?

Thanks

Attila I have played a few games with you do you think there is any specific thing i need to work on

IM Atilla

I do not have any good websites to study on the three stages of the game. May I ask you how you are suppose to study on the three stages of the game? I was thinking literally just tactics and solving them, like endgame tactics middlegame tactics etc., however I quickly found out that chess is not 90% tactics and I am stuck on what to study to improve my chess. What am I suppose to study? Is it something like.. endgame = just look at high rated games and analysis? I will also read a chess book for 30 minutes during the 2hr practice. 

Dear badakhiladi,

I suggest you this book: 

Capablanca: Move by Move

The games have a lot of annotations and it is easy to follow and can learn about all phase of the game by Capablanca's beautiful games.

I wish you will enjoy the games and reach your goals!
