Who gave you that one ?
My old "coach"/mentor (unpaid), who at 75 is still a formidable player and can swindle you in a simple-looking ending after staying up half the night and drinking two bottles of wine.
anyone can swindle me in anything ;)
but seriously some say a bit alcohol even improves imagination, but probably thats just a nice excuse to get a drink.
From IM Jeremy Silman's The Complete Book of Chess Strategy:
"Pay attention to the game and get to the heart of the matter as quickly as you can.
After your opponent moves, always ask yourself, "Why did he play this?"
Once you figure this out, don't react and forget about your goals! Try hard to create some plan that improves the position of all your pieces. Take time to accomplish these goals, but don't expect perfection. Ultimately you must ask yourself, "What wonderful thing does this move do for my position?" If you can't answer this question, then you must look for something else to do."
If ahead on pieces exchange pawns not pieces.
If ahead on pawns exchange pieces not pawns.
"Use the analysis board, you idiot!"

I just have to ask: what kind of games does your coach recommend for study?
i think he wos being sarcastical dats liek da worse advize u cud get
Best advice was..develop...move to control the middle, don't move pieces twice in openings and don't make meaningless checks (I was a pro at that for my first 3 yrs of chess). :)
Besides all that, to take up another hobby IF my goal was to be really good. :)

always make sure you have at leastas much material your opponent has.
Study first the endgame thoroughly then the opening.
