Can anyone out there help me how to do an excellent time managment...

    I am very bad in time organising.I always spent among 5-10 or more minute just to make 1 move. Maybe it is because I always see why he/she moved his/her pieces there or the another side of board in every corner before I make my own plan.                                                                                                                                                                          

 Please help me>I am very stress when I think about it.Maybe you all have a  way or method to solve my puzzle...Frown_by chess=math? writer.

It's OK to play slow.  Play correspondence chess where you have days to think.  Eventually you will be able to speed up.

Playing some games will certainly help in your quest to master time management.

Try Live Chess. Follow all basic rules and defend properly, play simple.
Otherwise in correspondence chess its perfectly fine to do so, but if you want to play faster (in otherwords in your case WORSE), then you will need some time (yes more time!) to try and play faster. Some people are natural at being good, but hey practice makes perfect. Your not a GM no? So there. Maybe you can do some strict rules (it may affect your chess, or lets say it will) like limit yourself to 3 mins per move. I actually take sometimes from 10 minutes to 10 seconds per move, because i use the analysis board. Do you? It helps... speeds up your thinking, but you may actually spend longer just fiddling round with combinations and such. Like me! =D. Good Luck. No paragraphing ftw.

solve tactical problems and study positional themes.

Make your own opening repertoirer. (it dont need to be your own, just mimik the openings of the masters)

Concentrate, dont let your mind fly away and make useless calculations.

1. take a good look at the position (dont calculate) how is the material, weak/strong squares. How is your development worse/better than your opponent, is the center cloced/open.

Anny pices witout proper defence, the king defence.

 

How you do this (what you look for first) doesn't matter.

2.Find all the kandidatemoves (the moves that fit your current position)

3.Start the calculation, how deep and how much time to spend on each move relay on the current position. A strong attack/defence needs accurate calculation, but a cloced position need a deep positional vision.

If you play a blitzgame 5-10 min, you really don't have much time for all this, but finding a good plan will save you some time, cause you can spend your precious time on the right moves.

Thanks for your opinion. Smile

         But if I participate in a tornament,although I have a good arrangment of my tirs than my opponent or I just have to make a proper nor several moves that need a good calculation to make "chakemate",I'm also will lose because of timeFrown

How much time you need on each move, depends on your calculation strength and positional vision. You can easily train both.

Try CRT Art if you can, it's a great sofware, chessmentor is ok, but I prefer crt art, you could try www.chesstempo.com :)

To actually manage your time use, you need to keep an eye on the clock from time to time, how much time do you need to make a decent game?

Is 1 hour on 40 and 30 min to finnish it to little?

In my first tournament the timelimit was 2 hours on 40 moves and 1 hour to finnish it, total 6 hours.

 I didn't need all that time!

 Because my strength was really poor, if I did think for 1 minute on each move, or 10 min didn't really matter, my strength was to poor to get me anny deeper into the position.
