Do you have a chess question? International Master Attila Turzo answers

Hi, IM Artilaturzo. Im trying to become a stronger player but need alittle help/ guidence. I mostly play the queens gambit declined as white & the french as black. My tactical, positional, endgame & opening all needs work, but apart from this what else could/ should I do? Any help would be appreciated & thankyou!

Will you answer me?

I am mid 1400 rated player. How should I plan my improvement

What are your thoughts on the Scheveningen variation of Sicilian from black perspective.?

Who are your top ten players in chess history so far? Thank you.

dear im attila, do you have any idea who is gm blondie on icc?

somebody said : standard chess for scientist, both blitz and bullet are for athlete and artist, do you agree..?

I suggest this line.

I think most of the time older players can be overrated because when time goes we start to play weaker, but if we did not play much games, then our level of play goes down faster than our rating. So we became overrated, we have better rating than our actual playing strenght.

I suggest you to study at least 30 minutes a day.

GM means International Grand Master. 

I think there is no clear border between the opening and the middlegame. In the opening you already have in mind your plans for the middlegame. When you develop a piece you should think where it will go forward when your other pieces finished the development, you should look in which side of the board you want to move up your pawns. If you keep it in mind, then you build up a position in the opening which will give you advantage in the middle game.

I am not the best chess player as you can see but often if i get to play against a 2000+ rated player in a long time control i often manage to win or draw with almost never any blunders but when i play a 1500- i get totally chrushed why?

Yes, I think the moder defense is good and one of its advantages is you can also play it well if you do not remember long variations, but remember the key ideas.

I think you are right to play against stronger opponents, but I think also important to play with not too strong ones, I think for a 1400 player, best to play with players in the 1450-1550 range.

Is it a realistic goal to become a titled player if you started playing seriously when you are 25 years old? Or is it too much unless you started young and have an exceptional talent?

If it is possible, how much time should I study per week to achieve this goal?

Motivation:i think the sky is the limit so if you practice every day there is noting you cant do never stop beleving in your self

realistic: get a coach ask him

Is this opening workable?

How many pizzas should I eat before (and during) a tournament game?

There are attacks where you can attack statically (slowly) and those where you have to do something immediately (dynamic). Mr.Turzo only mentions the second, while the first one occurs quite often.
