How to study chess?

Hello everyone,
I really would like to improve my chess games but to be honest I'm not sure how to approach the study of chess, mainly because there is A LOT of information and ideas and I can't define a path to (try to) improve.
So what's your approach? What's your day-by-day training system? What's the correct order to study things? What's the right approach to analyzing my games?

Thank you for your suggestion landon0914, it's really usefull, but what i really need is an explanation about HOW to study those arguments.

Lol

I started to use the chess step method. It is really nice and easy. 
Depending on how good you are there are 6 manuals to read and every manual has something from 3 to 5 exercise books to work out. They also have now for step 1 till 3 a computer program with which you can practise.
Here is the English version of the site: https://www.chess-steps.eu/home.php

Hi!

Best way to learn chess is with someone who can guide you. See my post on the subject:

Good luck!

"What's your day-by-day training system?"
++ Solve 4 tactics puzzles as a warm-up. Play a rapid game preferably 15|10. If you lost it, then analyse it thoroughly, else analyse an annotated grandmaster game.

"What's the correct order to study things?"
++ Study endgames first: 3 men, then 4 men, then 5 men

"What's the right approach to analyzing my games?"
++ Analyse your lost games only. Identify your mistakes. Why did you make this mistake? How much time did you think on it? How much time did you have available? What was your reasoning? What was the correct move? Did you consider it? If no, why not? If yes, why did you play the mistake?

Just play, the more you Play, the better you'll get. It's all about consistancy

Read books that explain how masters think. Then play slow chess, so that you have time to think about putting basic chess principles in action.

Solving puzzles is one way to learn tactical themes. Another way (that I prefer) is to play over the games of masters that have good commentary and that show these themes.

Do not fall into the trap of trying to learn these themes simply from playing blitz games. Any learning a beginner does through playing blitz is trial and error, which is very slow and inefficient. In addition, playing blitz will teach you many bad chess habits that will interfere with your development as you gain experience.

There is a very good article in the March issue of the Bridge Bulletin, the publication of the AmericanContact Bridge League (the bridge counterpart to the USCF). It is by Adam Parrish and addresses how to study. The advice applies to chess as well as bridge.

Parrish described what he calls “deliberate practice.”

This involves:

1. Being designed to focus on a specific skill. It should be designed to be at the edge of your skill. Too easy and it doesn’t teach anything. To hard and it becomes frustrating.

2. It gives immediate feedback. It should tell you right away if it succeeded or failed, and you should be able to see what you should have done if your attempt did not work.

3. it must be repeated. A lot. One afternoon of practice isn’t enough. It may take hundreds or thousands of repetitions to master a skill.

4. it has to be hard. If the practice is fun, it’s probably not helping much. 

Parrish gives examples from bridge, but also from sports such as basketball and tennis.

in my previous replies on this and other forums, I have recommended focused study. playing hours of bullet may be fun and might teach a few things, but it is not a substitute for deliberate practice and focused study.

Great

I think this guide from GM Avetik is useful for anyone: https://chessmood.com/chess-study-plans

Idk how to study chess but I do it like play daily puzzle to improve tactics ,watch chess youtube videos, play some chess and analyse them to get better at the best moves and avoiding mistakes in the future games , I hope it helps ! Idk how other people do,but this is what I do everyday but I am stuck at the same elo !!!

There is a book by Kuljasevic called How to Study Chess on Your Own. I am going through it now. It has some very good advice for players below the master level.

Based on you being 1000 im going to give you some FREE recommendations.
1. Do puzzles EVERY day. Even if its only 5 or 10 puzzles, helps keep your mind tactically aware and serves as a good "warmup".
2. Learn opening theory. There is many online FREE resources you can use, i personally recommend YouTube channels such as Remote Chess Academy or GothamChess for openings, but there are many other channels that are also good at it. What i find best is to watch a video 1/4th or so of the way through, then go onto an analysis board myself, and try to repeat the lines i just watched over on the analysis board without the help of an engine. If i get stuck i go back to the video and remind myself what the move/moves was. Do this consistently until you have got a specific opening down and in your muscle memory and then move on to the next.

3. Study BASIC endgames. At your level there is no point learning knight and bishop mate or advanced endgames of that nature. Learn basic ones like 1 pawn and king vs king, 3 pawns vs 3 pawns, and other basic endgames.
4. ANALYSE YOUR GAMES. This in my opinion is one of if not the most important one in my opinion. And i do not just mean click the analysis button and spam through, i mean PROPERLY sit and analyse each move, understand the multiple different routes that were do-able and why they were, if you don't understand why, take your time and go many moves into the said line, but yeah just game reviewing and spamming through is not reviewing your games, sure its cool to see "hey i got a 90% accuracy game!" but it isnt actually making you learn what you did that was good and what you did that was bad.
