Starting a research on chess improvement

Avatar of nicotira

👋 Hello Nicolò Tiraboschi, NM, and Chessboxing world champion! 👋

Exciting news! Starting on February 1st, I'm launching an experiment with two groups. One focuses on sharpening tactical skills ⚒, while the other delves into strategic training 📚. Our goal is to measure the rating difference over this period 📈📉. The group with the most significant improvement wins 🌟.

In order to get the rating difference we'll use this site I've just built:

https://chess-improvement.netlify.app/

Points will be relative; gaining 100 points from 500 to 600 😎 isn't equivalent to progressing from 2000 to 2100 🥵. (We're doing a study on this right now)

What are you paying participants? Or are we just supposed to help you for free?

It's not about helping me, but the community. And you're improving at the same time. Most probably faster than you would otherwise.

It's called cheating

I'm happy to help the community. If I get some coaching on strategy from a NM even better.

It will be interesting how we measure improvement.

I won't be able to give individual lectures, since you are a lot. I'll direct you towards good training methods. At the end of the day the improvement is made alone (I'm talking in general). The coach should pretty much just tell you what to do on your own. (At the end of the project I might actually help individually for free, but now this is taking too much time).

Understood. Even if it's just suggestions for self guided improvement. It's all good.

What I can say is that I'd like to give more personal advice to the volunteers of the project, (for free) once it finishes. (It was the first idea, but it evolved with time). That's my way of rewarding them.
