How to improve

HI a lot of us try to improve at chest but cant lets look what we do and hopefully some IM or GM will say what they do.

1.Tactics.A lot of us train at chess tempo for 15 min helpfull for analyzing forced continuations and spoting tactical motifs but truly not a real improvment.

2.Openings.Most people play e4 the sicilian najdof because ficher played  so they study 30 varition but they dont even know why they play it.When i play a oppenig first it has to be solid next not to much theory(theory is important but to much thery is even  worse then no theory because no theory lets you think creative and makes you spot youre mistakes)next it hase to be fun (i am not playing to win i play to have fun.to stop some stupid comments i do take chess seriosly) but after the oppening comes middle game which hard to make plan(without following the oppenig plan)and spot weakness.

3.Analyze master games.How much time do spend analyzeing a game 3 days yes that much under guess the move princeple after that i ask my coache and houdini what and why.

4.End game nimzowitch sad"its a rule in chess to treat the end game eqaluy much as the middle game".But when reading a endgame book not too much info(so plz say what you do to improve endgame knowledge).

Plz one more thing i whant a chess principle book not about basic principles "nights before bishops,controle the center,night on the rim is dim"but something that covers things like the principle of two weakness.Next a book about chess strategy a lot times a hear what seperates a gm from a amature is the gm positinol under standing.How do they improve it.The reccomandation good book

i have read my system improved alot and attacking with isolani this improved my chess alot why (ex. the reason isolated q pawn is good it opens a2 g8 diagonal c1 h7 diagonal out post for the night on e5 c5.a lot of time people will block the a2 g8 diagonal with e6 so to contine the attack the diagonal has to be open.It ask you how you think think think and you think you now and it shows you a game and you realize.But understandin chess middel games by johnn nunn shows a game and comments on evrey move and from that you learn nothing the books rating should be over 1800 dont look at chess.com reason so low its that i play vs someone 100 times weake them me and its not fun at chesscube i am 1800 you can find me stojanovileopepe i go to touraments often fide rating still 0.I am young i will improve until i am 30 but if do the wrong stuff thill then i could be evenweaker

Take a look at your own games, find out where you went wrong, and improve. There is no book that can take the place of that.

Work on your thought process.  Soltis, Heisman, Silman, Smirnov, and pretty much every authority on improvement says to. After obtaining sufficient understanding (at least 1900 I think) then it's time to store info your meat computer's hash tables.  This is done with tactical exercises but more importantly studying whole games with anthologies (Capablanca's Best Games, Informant's Best 1000 Games, etc.) and endgame positions too (since tactical blows aren't guarunteed as your opponent will likely see them coming and defend against them whereas endgames are nearly always guarunteed to happen). 

I was thinking about buying ECE to drill the patterns into my memory so I don't have to calculate or "think" as much and to sharpen intuition.  This is an excellent method of improvement for Class A or above, but people like you or me are better served with improving our understanding (i.e., knowing rules and principles on a deep level, not blindly stating, "avoid passive defense if your rook is more active" but being able to apply and prioritize that knowledge)

ECE tends to fly off the shelves fast, and the new editions come out this week, but I'll get at least pawn ending and rook ending ones.  Queen endings are generally either really easy or notoriously difficult depending on pawn quantity and/or distribution and if you could calculate a safe route for your king or not.  "Does that avoid perpetual?" is the golden question, or if you're on the inferior end, "How can I force perpetual?"

They can be tight ropes, but if you note the squares your king and queen control and the opponent's king position you could find a way to exhaust the checks.

There is no book that can take the place of that.thats something i left out i spent more time on my own games but really out of 20 games 5 i won because of tactis 1 i lost because i missed a tactic 4 out of strategy and the other are missing sheets and forgoten. so i did not learn nothing
