I don't see any improvment after training 3'000 problems, are there somerules I should know ???

I think in this range it's more about finding weak spots so check your peace's check the others and before move imagine it then make sure there are no other ways this could go. my puzzle wall is 1500 hard to get over it, a bit weirder problems but it's the same idea think imagine make sure then play.

Yes am now for a month at around 1500, I just got 1535, but when I don't see the complete moves I resign, cuz I know if I try something it going to be just luck and it seems, problems are like casinos.

I'm a believer in the "Dan Heisman tactics philosophy". Lots of simple tactics that you can learn to solve through repetition in 15 to 20 seconds at a 80-90% success rate. Do I know that I'm right? Nope, it's just what I believe. With a little over a 50% success rate and waay over 20 seconds per puzzle, I think the problems are too difficult for you. (I think this may be what @minnesotachesscoach was alluding to.)

Dear FREEtheBASE2018,

I am a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you.   Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one general way to learn. Solving tactical puzzles is not enough to improve. First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analysing your own games. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem that it can't explain you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why is it so good or bad.

You can learn from books or Youtube channels as well, and maybe you can find a lot of useful information there but these sources are mostly general things and not personalized at all. That's why you need a good coach sooner or later if you really want to be better at chess. A good coach can help you with identifying your biggest weaknesses and explain everything, so you can leave your mistakes behind you. Of course, you won't apply everything immediately, this is a learning process (like learning languages), but if you are persistent and enthusiastic, you will achieve your goals.

In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). If you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.

I hope this is helpful for you.   Good luck for your chess games!

Because quantity and quality are different.

Thanks for all good advices, I have no idea why after 3500 tries I was still staying around 1100, and suddenly I progressed as fast to 1833

It is anyway easier to go down than up because even when the puzzle is made correctly, to get the complete points it must be done in the right time.

Take more time per puzzle. How would you play if your life depended on it?

I do tactics daily, but that does not help me much to really improve. I had much more success with the lessons and other things (i.e. books about endgames). There are some problems with tactic training in general:

1.) you press the taktik button and get a fixed situation. You KNOW that there is a tactic here, you only have to find it.

2. you see a good move, but not the following moves (i.e. a good check with you queen near the opponents king) you do it, see the response and NOW you see your next move. And so on

That means that in a lot of cases you (or I or everyone...) miss the total tactic but go from one good move to the next. But the idea is (or should be) that you know all the moves in advance knowing why you do all your moves and what you will earn at the end BEVORE you do the moves. So there is very little improvement made, even when you get the full points at the end.

And in reality while you play you never know really if there is a taktik in the given position or not. You have to find the tactic if there is one. So these tactical training is very artificially.

So, my personal advise is: Do the lessons very properly, try to understand the explanations very deep, be very alert during the lessons and that will help you to improve I think (at least it helped me a lot).

And, by the way, I try not to play too much daily games at once. So I have realy time to find the best moves and the hidden tactics as well.

That's what I am doing now, once I understand what I need to do, the time slowly improves day after days, but on my 3500 first tries, I was doing the puzzle fast and wrong.

Now I make the complete puzzle moves in my head, once am sure I do it, with the days passing the time to find the solution improves also.

There is also  some puzzle where I am nearly sure of the first move, often, it's a so easy move, and I was searching something far to complicated

Yes I have reduced considerably the daily games, I play actually only team games. Too much daily games brought me to lose on time or to play without thinking to not time-out,

Right what someone  wrote, better quality than quantity !

No trick. It’s really rather very simple.

Get all the hype out of your head about puzzle solving. These puzzles focus on but one aspect of tactics. Your belief they should be improving your game is a myth. A clever marketing tool.

Get on with the real stuff.

You mean 1'000

I agree! that´s what I said. Focus on more complex teaching methods. I´m a fan of the lectures in chess.com. Read the articles. Focus on endgames (like the good proverb: Opentings teach you openings, endgames teach you chess). Have a look at the videos, some are marvelously good.

I FINALLY REACHED 2018

Thanks for all advises

Congratulations! You're welcome!

I memorize openings. It works for me. Losing in the opening phase all the middlegame puzzle and endgame you know would not appear.

I suggest reviewing miniature games.

You're right, I have begun to work on openings, that's the main reason I am in the Mariana trench in blitz, because I played all daily games following stupidly the book. which is not possible in live chess

Nice improvement over the last year!

I was surprised by your first post - puzzles are a very improvable skill - but whatever you have done has worked.
