🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:27 🧠 Start with Short Tactics Training:
- Begin with solving puzzles to focus on chess and learn different tactical patterns. This helps prevent blunders and strengthens your attacking skills.
03:31 🕹️ Play and Analyze Games:
- Play games, then analyze them using chess software or engines. Learn from mistakes, understand opening theories, and identify weaknesses in your gameplay.
06:46 📚 Study Chess, Especially Openings:
- Master essential openings for both white and black pieces. While openings won't make you a strong player alone, understanding them is crucial to progress effectively.
09:07 ⏱️ Time Management for Training:
- Allocate 30 minutes daily for a well-rounded training session. Adjust components (tactics, games, study) based on the time you have, ensuring a balanced approach to improvement.

Thanks for the video Igor! I’m 1800 currently and I always find that puzzles before going into a game keep you sharp, focused and play better!

[narutoedisson]

I am a 2100 and i think that this training plan is very good even for advanced players.

For interesting content on chess and beyond! 👆

Thank you for a great video!
I feel like actually getting better at something is often very counterintuitive.
We are tempted to just use intuition and repeat something we already did many times without growing new habits.

2:54 Qh5 is the way to win! Of course the bishop is pinned so it can't capture your queen but most importantly, you are threatening to win a game on h8 or h7. Black will takes your bishop on c4 to open the escape square for his king.
But next you will play the quiet move, g6! prevent a black king from escaping and next move you will delivery the checkmate blow on h8 and black is defenseless.

I really suck at chess but have gotten better recently from practicing. I’m digging the channel thanks for keeping things moving and easy to understand. The content has helped!

Something I've found helpful is analyzing my game without the engine, taking notes explaining my thinking, then going over it again with the engine. I save this for longer time control games which I suspect had good learning opportunities. For blitz or bullet games I just do a quick check with the engine to make sure I didn't miss anything major.

I am new to chess (Knew the basics and could play casually before) and I am loving these videos. In-depth yet simple.

[paulusmelvintan]

I really need this video. Thank you, GM Igor. Appreciate that.

[elcanaldemanu]

This is what I was looking for, thanks a lot!

[janice]

For the tactical puzzle… Qh5, then if black bishop doesn’t move Qh8 is mate. If black bishop does move along the diagonal, pawn to g6 and then queen to h8 mate
