That is a lot of stuff, thanks Steve!

I'm hardly sure where to start... Cheers!

 

Read the first year of Novice Nooks, he covers it well. He doesn't recommend his own tactics book at first.

For me it always has been about three things, training itself, no matter the result, that's what it is about and combining with quick book study (for me John Batholomew) and some tutorials. That combination is priceless, even if you give it just 10 minutes at start, with time, it'll grow into great advantage, step by step  

Yep, I'm finding that to be a good routine as well... I tend to over exert myself though... It's a balancing act I guess.

 

It most definitely is. What helps me is to divide each into three parts of the day, when possible. That way you don't go with one ver too long. I usually leave the book on the afternoon, but I play on apps and puzzles on my way to work on the tram if I can sit and during lunch I also jump into something, mostly reading on openings and endgames.  happy.png But everyone has different routines happy.png

Congratulations!  What was most helpful to you?

What was most helpful to me? Probably studying master games, and becoming more mentally disciplined. Inside, I am still a 1500 when I cannot think properly! tongue.png
