Hello,

here you can post and discuss your advices for advanced Players.

Best Regards,

Advices for advanced players:


Main-advices:

1. Play some games per week with at least 15-20 minutes thinking-time.
-> This is necessary to recognize new patterns, structures and deep solutions

2. You can play very fast games, too, to train your reaction-time and to check your current stock of patterns and knowledge

3. Train your tactical skills with the aim to solve at least 4-5-move-winning-tasks
( Tasks: http://148009.aceboard.net/148009-115-42-0-Moves.htm )

4. Play at least 2 starting-positions and try to find several good openings for each starting-position

5. Play the standard-starting-position with the aim to realise the stage 3 style and neglect the win
(Style3: http://148009.aceboard.net/148009-2013-209-0-Standard.htm#vb )

6. Analyse your lost games - if you like, than the won games, too. Figure out, why you have lost the games - tactically, positionally and strategically.
(Analyses: http://148009.aceboard.net/148009-1987-1977-0-About-Analysis.htm#vb )

7. Be aware of the three game-periods and the two transitional phases - during the games and for the analyses


8. To play Correspondence-games is a very fruitful way to analyse the game - strategical, positional, tactical - very deep, much more than in 20 minutes-games.

Supplements and Deepening:          (Be careful with this Deepening)

1. If you have analysed short games (<35 moves), than try to play the game again only out of your memory – without the notation.

2. Try to solve “blind” – without the board and without an image - some “Winning-in-x-move”-tasks.

3. Play sometimes a blind-game.
