chess instructions on how to improve

Chess is a very beautiful game, but learning it might be a very difficult task when you do not have good chess instructions.   One might think that reading the ten good books that he has in the library will make him a master.  However, this is wrong.  Without good directions on how to study, the time can be wasted and no result achieved.

We took the initiative to design CHESS INSTRUCTIONS on how YOU CAN IMPROVE.

General and specific chess instructions

  • It is better to thoroughly study one book than just browse through ten books.  However, we recommended to read just the best books.
  • Your chess training must be based on a study.  This means that you must try to understand and keep in mind every explanation from the chess books.  When examining key positions is better to think on your own and figure out what is the best plan/idea/move.
  • The study of chess must be done on the normal board and pieces.  If you want to progress, the usage of the computers have to be minimized.  You have to use your own hand to move the pieces - not the mouse!  If you find good materials on the Internet, our advice is to print them.
  • Do not buy more books than you can study.  The danger is that you will loose focus and you will just quickly read them to be able to go for the next one.  This will be in vain.
  • Make a notebook with all the important things you learned, especially from books on strategy.
  • Analyze your own games.  In addition, remember: a won game is not by all means a good game or vice versa.  So, be critical whenever it applies.

We hope that our chess instructions will help you.  If you follow seriously these pointers, your aim will be reached for sure.
