which is more effective way to improve game??
Sort:
hello friends.i am currently around 1300 fide rated player...what you think is more effective to improve game of player at my level.
1. analyzing all of your long interval games you play.
2.reading theory of everything you play to..
I can't do both of this simultaneously.. so which is better way ..
Sometimes one and sometimes the other?
"... In order to maximize the benefits of [theory and practice], these two should be approached in a balanced manner. ... Play as many slow games (60 5 or preferably slower) as possible, ... The other side of improvement is theory. ... This can be reading books, taking lessons, watching videos, doing problems on software, etc. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

that makes sense.thanks.
Play & Analyze
"The way I suggest you study this book is to play through the main games once, relatively quickly, and then start playing the variation in actual games. Playing an opening in real games is of vital importance - without this kind of live practice it is impossible to get a 'feel' for the kind of game it leads to. There is time enough later for involvement with the details, after playing your games it is good to look up the line." - GM Nigel Davies (2005)
