Some things that you can learn from me are:

01. Think about position and have a dialogue with yourself when your opponent is on the move

(use the your opponents time, not to calculate, but to understand position better, try to see ideas, long terms maneuvers, and find

weaknesses in your AND your opponent position. try to express yourself)

02. Motivate yourself all the time (motivation is greatest power of person, even in chess lack of motivation can be harmful for position)

03. Never give up from your position, or even idea. (if you mess something up, not resign right away.. try to understand new position and

to activate rest of your pieces the best you can.. while pieces are passive their strength is lower, and with every move piece gain some of power)

04...etc
