I think everyone have a different way to study, because we have different strenght, weakness, tastes (one might prefer to study tactics and another to study strategy). So good luck for your chess future. I also have palyed since 4 months and I'm still a patzer, but in these months I didn't study well, so I don't know if I'm a patzer due to bad study habit or lack of talent. Now I want study a lot and especially WELL to improve, and play a lot, taking my time to think about every move on turn-based
My way for improving
Sort:
Hi, i would like here today to discuss with you my way ( schedule) ive created to improve enormasly in one year. I would like you to tell me your opinion and advice on what are my flaws in this schedule. Beginning from my strength and talent which is moderate because I went from just learned to play into 15 hundreds in 4 months ( if you want to check my games there are only 2 and the 2nd one I was joking course it was 2 minute) .
15 days ago along with my friend which is rated 1200 I joined a small chess club where we don't always play unless tournament is held. Instead we learn from books or watch games ( also books ). My ambition ass started since I was taking part in a big tournament ( everyone allowed ) and finished 61 of 70 ( first was some gm rated 2602). Ever since I've been dying to improve and be able to put up a fight against someone at the tournament. Along with some special techniques which are not mentioned I have devised a schedule which I'm going to follow for the next years to come. And for my will to last I've designed a chart which indicates days and rating so that I have an increasement of 3 points every day I finishin everything scheduled.
So work days are little reducing time spent but on non work days I triple the work.
Every morning before school I wake up early and solve tactics for 1 hour. In the afternoon after the lunch and before the chess club I study from books ( 60 specially chosen from my side) for 2 hours. Then 2 hour chess club study with my mentor. When I get home I study from annotated fischer games for 1 hour.
And I forgot to mention play is important so I 4 days a week play a game against computer opponent time 1 h each and analyse it afterwards
