Hey Guys, How you doing ^_^ I have a question for y’all….
I’ve completed many good books like woodpecker method, imagination in chess, build up your chess series, dvoretsky’s endgame manual, & also have some basic knowledge for openings I play, so theoretically, this much knowledge must be around 2100 or 2100+ fide rating, but in reality, I’m not able to implement it in my games, probably not even 25%, that’s why my fide rating is also low (below 1900), so how do I overcome this thing/ start implementing 100% of the knowledge I have….?

Did y’all also got stuck at some level for some time?

What does "not able to implement " in your games mean?

Post some games that you have lost that way.

You are losing pawn up endgames?

Looks like you lost this game owed to endgame mistakes/ time pressure.

Is that a frequent factor in your FIDE games?

Not able to implement means not able to play remembering all the factors of the book knowledge, like positional play, middle game plans from ‘build up ur chess series’ or even tactical vision as from ‘Imagination in chess’ book, I mean I play as an amateur while I should be playing as intermediate players, with good positional play, easily finding tactics, etc

I didn’t mean online games tbh, becoz I don’t play as seriously as fide games online, so can’t show any example game like the way I’m facing problems

Yea I lost this game due to time pressure, & yeah sometimes time pressure is a factor in my fide games, due to which I overlook tactics, can’t make a proper plan or keep deviating from original plan to another one, etc

Tho tbh I think the fear of losing to lower rated players is also a factor maybe, becoz even in some drawn games to lower rated opponents, I try to win, but then end up mistaking in the endgame & lose….

You want me to show you one of my game? I’ll have to upload it on this website first tho? Shud I do it?

All you play is speed chess. How are you supposed to implement what you're trying to learn into your games when you're moving fast. That's

~1800 Fide in India could very well be above 2000 in other places of the world

I don’t understand what you are expecting from anyone if you don’t show any games.

I play longer time control on a different software sometimes, tho yeah, I think maybe I should play more long matches, but even when I play longer time control matches, I play them casually I can’t concentrate as much as tmt games, becoz of the environment around me, which isn’t right I guess….?

Yeah but still, I have to improve here only, until I reach 2000 at least ig, that’s why I askd for advice from y’all

I was white in this game, while my opponent was just 1650 (fide), still first it was going for a draw, but then I tried to win by moving my knight again & again to get a fork, but lost due to it....

Avatar of Keep_Lerning

Here I was black & this time also my opp was in 1600s only, still I lost becoz I think I didn't played good middlegame, becoz he had so many weaknesses, still I couldn't use them, & ultimately blundered due to time pressure in the end....

If you have knowledge but cant use it then it is just information, not knowledge

Then the question becomes- how to change information to knowledge?

Well, now when I see two of your games, I feel slightly puzzled because I can’t point out any obvious weakness of yours. Your moves make sense, but piece placement feels somewhat awkward… To be family with middlegame plans, you have to review a lot of master games. It will help you definitely much more than doing nonsense like woodpecker method (i firmly believe that repeating the very same puzzles again and again is against the common sense).

To know how to play position like in game one, look at the game So -Akobian, US champ 2016. To watch game with commentary go Youtube, Finegold: Best players of the present, Wesley So, about 31:00. 
To know how to play play position like in game two, look at the game Cremisi - Finegold, Atlanta 2017. To watch game with commentary go Youtube, Finegold: isolated pawn positions, about 1:00.

Hmm, that’s the problem, I’m playing mostly equally (even if my opp is a weaker player than me), but not good enough to win, so Ig I’ll try to focus on master games, to improve middle game planning….

Alr thnx, I’ll definitely look both of those games (:

It would've been great if a 2200+ rated player would have seen this, becoz he also must’ve faced these difficulties when he went from 1700/1800 to 2100/2200 I guess….? 😅🤔
