I hear that Korchnoi will give chess lessons for a pair of younger legs.
Generic Training Schedule Putting together a training schedule for yourself sounds like an easy task. No problem! I'll just study openings on Monday, do some middlgame strategy on Tuesday, then perhaps some endgames on Wednesday, and sprinkle some online games here and there. But in reality, if you are like me, it's difficult to do because we, as chessplayers, are averse to doing anything that is not really fun. Half way through your opening sessions you find yourself suddenly emmersed in a bullet tournament on ICC or Playchess. Endings? Bah! I know Lucena's - good enough. It is a lack of discipline in our non-playing activities that keep us right were we settle in the rating scale. ANY player can steadily improve if they apply a basic schedule to their studies and become persistent in executing those studies. In fact, I would venture that outside of any extraordinary talent, any player can see improvement up to the 2100-2200 rating level using this study plan as a guide. This 4-day study plan encompasses all facets of chess study as well as playing blitz and rapid games on a steady basis, which is important if you want to get feedback from your play for obvious reasons. The study plan rotates on this 4-day schedule. After you complete Day4, revert back to Day1 the next day. Day1 - SO2, VT1, SG1 Day2 - VE2, PL1, VT1 Day3 - SG1, VG1, PL1, VT1 Day4 - SO2, VE1, VT1 Key: S = Study V = Solve G= Strategy E = Endings T = Tactics O = Openings PL= Play (4x 5min, 3x 10min, 2x 15min games) # = Units of Time The first step in any study plan is to know how much time you have to spend doing it. This is where the # of units comes into play. If, for example, you can devote 4 hours a day to studying chess, then your Study unit of time would be 1 hour, as each day contains 4 study units of time. On Day1 you would: Study Openings - 2 hours Solve Tactics - 1 hour Study Strategy - 1 hour Of course, not everyone has 4 hours to put aside to study chess each day. If you have an hour a day, your time unit = 15 minutes. In this way, you can automatically customize your schedule depending on how much time you have. An alternative is to make the unit of time 30 minutes, and simply run the schedule as time permits. For example, you set 30 minutes of time as your unit: Study Openings - 1 hour Solve Tactics - 30 min Study Strategy - 30 min In this method, it does not matter that you complete all the activities for a particular day on that day, but it is important to maintain the order in which you do that activity. It may take you 2 days to complete the Day1 program, so be it. To implement this study program effectively, we need to have at our disposal some good chess books on each subject. Consider obtaining a good Opening, Strategy, and Endgame book, as well as a tactical puzzles book. For openings, I personally like the "Starting Out" series by Everyman Chess. For strategy, Pachman's Modern Chess Strategy or Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy by Watson are good books. For endgames, A Guide to Chess Endings by Euwe and Hooper, Fundamental Chess Endings by Muller and Lamprecht, or Just The Facts by Alburt are all good books and all very readable. You might prefer other books. These are just suggestions.

I think anyone would improve markedly if they adopted that regime in the long term, couldn't fail.
I just wonder how many adults could find four whole evenings a week. just for study. With playing and travel the commitment would run to something above twenty hours.... you'd have to really want it.
So, when do you start?
the next week
Good luck with the program and feel free to message me, if I can be of casual assistance.
DC-poc,thats not funny the man is sinking,and to the man just be strong and go hard ma guy.
i have another method:
I take a strong tournament and choice 1,2,3 (not more) games and when the match start, i try to guesss the move before .When it's finish,i play the match again and analyse it(why my move it the same or not ,its strong or weak move, what is the idea...).And at the end i search If it was analyse by GM,and compares ideas with mine
I search a plan to studies chess by day or weeks like this
Monday:opening...
thuesday:analyse...
w:tactic .....
i make tactics everyday , i play games ,i analyse games, i read books but my ELO
is the same since few years
If you have a suggestion Thanks
