and two months lol
Why my chess not yet have an improvement?! I have study chess 2Year..
Sort:
Till_98, thats very good :)
If you have studied for two years and have not improved at all then you are as good as you are going to get. You may improve slightly as you get older, but not by much.
Learn to live with it.
In Norway there are a terribly strong generation coming up, just at your age till_98, rated at around your level. The best of the teenagers in Nordstrand sjakklubb, Johan Salomon, fide 2343 is a couple of years older. Those teenagers are not average clubplayers. They are better (although some of them are average).

Just about everybody tries to complicate the process of becoming a strong player. It is actually very simple, but takes about 3 years.

The first thing you need to know is the 5 visualization pattern memory banks. They are:
-
1.Tactics visualization pattern memory bank
-
2.Mating Net visualization pattern memory bank
-
3.Endgame visualization pattern memory bank
-
4.Openings visualization pattern memory bank
-
5.Middlegame visualization pattern memory bank
-
You must build these 5 visualization pattern memory banks into your brain. It will take you about 3 years and alot of hard work. The easiest one of the 5 to build into your brain in about 3 months is the Mating Net visualization pattern memory bank.
-
As a strong player who has built these 5 memory banks into his brain, the experience is as follows:
-
When you are analyzing any position on the chessboard, the move will jump up off of the board and smack you on the forehead!!!

If you would like to know more please let me know.
To achieve each of your ambitions you need to play in tournaments. At some stage you also have to achieve good results in those tournaments but let's take it one step at a time, first you must play in them.
So look for some tournaments reasonably local to you and see how you can enter and play. At your age you'll need the support of your parents in this.
Once you have played in one or two you are going to find out a lot. Firstly you are going to find out if you like it. Playing in a tournament is a different experience to playing on line, different from any form of study and different from playing in a club. But your ambitions require tournament play. So should it turn out you don't actually like it, well your ambitions are likely to shift all by themselves. But I think you will like it. And then another thing happens. You will make more sense of what you have been studying. There is nothing like the thrill of tournament competition to bring chess and chess ideas to life. Plus you will rub shoulders with others who share your enjoyment of the game. That helps progress a whole lot also.
Don't worry about how you do in your first couple of events. The point is not immediately to start achieving grand master norms. That can wait. The point is just to try tournament play.
Good luck with bringing this off, it may not be easy. And good luck in the events if you do manage to swing it. :)

How much time do you spend studying per day to achieve this in 3 years?
4-6 hrs. per day with breaks in between to allow your brain time to assimmilite new information into your slowly growing outline of chess knowledge.
Also you must play about 60 to 72 OTB tournament games per year. In addition you need to play skittles and blitz games. These will reinforce the 5 visualization pattern memory banks and also give you practice in handling the clock when in time presssure.

Is it "use it or lose it"? What if you stopped playing for a year or two (no chess at all)? Would it take you 3 more years at 4-6 hours per day to get back up to the same level?
I want to believe that these are honest questions that you posted in haste.
I am reasonably sure that you have a pretty good idea what the answers are.
An alternative would be to ask someone who has been thru the experience.

I dont know exactly, but i am experementing on my self. Ask me in a couple of years. I did one year of serious chess when I was 15, and I am doing comback now, after 36 years. I am fighting head to head with supergood kids, an wonder if I can keep up. But I know that a huge bit of chess are preserved from the good old days. I dont think many 50 year old men can achieve an onlinerating of 1600 in five months starting with no earlier experience.
I would assume your skills would diminish if you did not maintain them constantly. I'm wondering, if that is true, if the economics of it are worth it. If it is something that you learn and can then know forever, like a specific ending or opening, or thematic attack on the castles king, then that is a good investment. A finite study time for unlimited use. But if it's closer to muscle memory and pattern recognition, that is less of a good deal since it requires a recurring cost forever, and taking a break makes your entire investment to that point almost worthless.
My childhood friend Jon Haug took some decades break and came back in 2004-2005, In 2005 he won the Norwegian championship in class one. So you dont loose it all, but if he had carried on , he might have been able to get very fine results and maybe an IM-title.
What I have left from the seventies isnt openings or spesific combinations, but som basic understanding, and that base is what I am building on now,
