After 48 games had been played in the Karpov-Kasparov World Championship Match 1984, the event was cancelled while it was still in progress. The FIDE president stated that the match had “exhausted the physical, if not the psychological resources, of not only the participants but all those connected with the match…” No winner was declared, so Anatoly Karpov retained the title. That’s how a new World Championship Match began in 1985 between the two great players.<br />

It’s the 16<sup style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">th</sup> game, where Kasparov was playing Black.

The Sicilian defense was played and there was a controversial gambit early in the opening, which was later coined “<b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">The Kasparov Gambit</b>”. Kasparov achieved a dynamic composition for the pawn later in the game, resulting in very passive pieces for Karpov. Black’s knight tied down almost all the pieces of White at one point of the game.</div>

Therefore, you will be learning from the games and positions of the best player in the world!

With this happy note, let’s get straight to the topic. Have you ever found yourself in an <b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">endgame</b> where it was so boring that you could not find any good moves, while your opponent just seems to know what to do? Today we’ll be discussing <u style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">how Magnus Carlsen plays in such quiet endgames</u> and most importantly, manages to win the game easily.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black !important; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Before that, I’d like to ‘warn’ you that it is very important to study such endgames. If you don’t give much importance in this area, you’ll keep struggling to find good moves. Let’s take a look at an ending from Magnus’s game.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Magnus Carlsen is playing Black in this game. Please, take a moment and try to evaluate this position. Who do you think it is better and why? It’s Black to play – can you find a good continuation for Black?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black !important; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Well, it looks like a quiet position from a boring endgame, isn’t it? It’s not the case for Carlsen – yes, he won this game. I’d like to insist that it’s not a very rare occurrence for Magnus to win such positions. As you may have seen, he has been doing that time after time. He calmly outmaneuvers his opponents for a very long time.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black !important; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
How does he do that? How can you do the same? You can watch the video snippet, where you can see how Carlsen found the winning plan in the above endgame. <img alt="🙂" class="emoji" draggable="false" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.2.1/svg/1f642.svg" style="background: none !important; border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline !important; height: 1em !important; margin: 0px 0.07em !important; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px !important; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; vertical-align: -0.1em !important; width: 1em !important;" /></div>

The <b>pawn storm</b> is generally regarded as a situation
in which the pawns form a ‘chain’ are creating a ‘storm’ with the main
aim of attacking the opponent’s king by opening lines (files) for
attack. Pawn storm often facilitates sudden tactics and fiercely
sacrifices that allow one to deliver a successful attack against the
opponent’s King.<span id="more-33663"></span><br />
There are certain <u>important principles</u> you should keep in mind
when you want to attack your opponent’s king with a pawn storm or to
successfully defend your opponent’s pawn storm. What are they? 🙂<br />

Recently, I have received a couple e-mails from my students who are having a hard time dealing with<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">time trouble</strong>. And if you are one of those chess players who experiences problems with this dilemma often, then you are in for a treat. Right here, I will lay down certain tips and tricks that will help you combat this over-the-board (OTB) problem.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><img alt="🙂" class="emoji" draggable="false" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2/svg/1f642.svg" style="background: none !important; border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline !important; height: 1em !important; margin: 0px 0.07em !important; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px !important; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; vertical-align: -0.1em !important; width: 1em !important;" /><span id="more-32995" style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;"></span></div>

Very often, we see the following situation: <em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">a player plays a good game, gets an advantage, but then appears in a time trouble! Under the time pressure, he makes an annoying mistake and even loses in the end!</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" /> <br style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" /><img alt="chess time" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14465" src="https://chess-teacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/chess-time.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 1.313em; max-width: 100%; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; vertical-align: middle;" width="42%" />Such a situation is certainly frustrating. And the recommendations I’m about to give will help set yourself free from the chains of the time trouble.</div>

In most cases, a chess player THINKS only during the first few minutes after the opponent makes his move. After that, he starts to check the SAME variations again and again. Not contented, he starts to worry about the consequences, and try to find 100% ideal move, and the cycle goes on and on.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black !important; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Guess what? <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">This cycle doesn’t help at all!</strong> This only creates chaos in his head and totally mixes things up. Finally, after going through the same variations, worrying about the consequences, and vainly searching for the perfect move, he does something ridiculous… and you should know what happens next.</div>

Look, even a computer – whether it’s Rybka, Fritz, or even that supercomputer Hydra, CANNOT calculate all of the lines until the end and come to a 100 percent correct conclusion. Having said that, we may conclude that trying to judge the outcome of the game for MANY moves ahead is a wasted effort.</div>

Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Don’t try to make 100% correct moves all the time. NORMAL move is good enough in most cases.</div>

Even the greatest players like Karpov follow this advice! The former World Champion, when faced with a branching point in one of his games, go for the sound, normal, and generally good move… the one that requires the least amount of calculation.</div>

Recently I got a message from a chess player, a close follower of my blog to be precise. He explained his chess problems, and one of them was constant time trouble. I recommended one of my chess courses, which contains the answers to most of his questions.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black !important; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
He answered: “<em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">Yes, I was thinking about<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em><a href="https://goo.gl/wWdCHj" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s ease, background-color 0.3s ease, border-color 0.3s ease, box-shadow 0.3s ease;" target=""><em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">your courses</em></a><em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>since the last month, but couldn’t decide which one to start with!</em>”</div>

I could not hold the smile and laugh a bit. It’s not surprising that he has a time trouble in chess, isn’t it? He thought about one simple decision during more than a month!!!</div>

In an old manual for Samurais, I found the following quote (chess is a model of war by the way, so samurai’s wisdom is suitable for chess):</div>

If you have time troubles in chess, then you probably have problems when it comes to making decisions in life. Procrastination is a habit you want to get rid of.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" /> <br style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" /><img alt="frank marshall chess quote" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14465" src="https://chess-teacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/frank-marshall-chess-quote.jpg" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 1.313em; max-width: 100%; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; vertical-align: middle;" width="65%" />I know many people who spent tons of time to decide which of my courses to order. Meanwhile, they lost the most important thing – <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">TIME</strong>. It was much better to make ANY decision, but to make it quickly and to start going forward.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black !important; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">ANY decision moves you forward!</strong> If your decision was wrong, then you will know that this thing does not work. You learn something from it, and it’s going to be useful in the future. Then you will start finding another solution and <u style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">you will always keep going forward!</u></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black !important; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
On the other hand, the one who doesn’t make a decision (or postpone it) will be stuck on his current place. He’ll have no progress whatsoever! That person who goes forward (who makes a decision and learns from it), will easily outrun him!</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black !important; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Another example: some people wait several months to get my course with a discount. Again, they will save a few bucks, but lose TIME. I strongly advice that you make decisions, and make them quickly! <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">ANY decision is better than nothing!</strong></div>

In recent times, we discussed a lot about one of the most important and basic strategies in chess – attack. We learnt about the most important attacking principles, biggest problems in attack and the basic conditions for a successful attack.</div>
<br />
However, some of you might not be able to understand the art of attack completely. Maybe these three lessons might not be enough for you to crush your opponent’s king. Indeed, it’s not impossible to teach everything about attack in a couple of lessons.<br />
<br />

For instance, one of the RCA students, Joshua, made the following comment in one of those lessons:<br />
RCA studentAnd we never fail to give what YOU ask for – yes, our next course is “Crushing the King”, an attacking chess course! 🙂<br />
<br />
<br />

One of the frequently asked questions by the chess players, after ‘deciding’ the target for the attack is: (WHERE), “<i style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">WHEN should I attack?</i>”. Later, they face another problem – “<i style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">HOW should I attack?</i>”.<br />
<img alt="where, when and how" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14465" src="http://chess-teacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/where-when-how.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 1.313em; max-width: 100%; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; vertical-align: middle;" width="45%" />Additionally, there are some other important factors you should take into the account when attacking.

Attack in chess is a fundamental topic, because without an attack we cannot win a single chess game. Perhaps strong players and titled players can attack easily as they know almost everything regarding attack, but if you are not this ‘strong player’ then you might have some problems.</div>

Chess is a game of understanding. Before doing anything we need to understand what is going on. There are some positions in which the opponent’s King is safe and in some other cases he is not. For instance, we should castle as soon as possible, am I right? If the King stays in the center, then we can use its position and we can start attacking him.</div>

In our previous survey one student asked a very important question: “<em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">I do not know when I can start the attack and what the most efficient way to do it is?</em>” Indeed, firstly we need to understand that the opponent’s King is in a bad position.</div>

Sometimes we can start the attack out of the opening. There are some techniques and aggressive openings, where you can start attacking straight away. Strong players know them and they can attack successfully. But, how can a not-so-strong player do it?</div>

Last but not least is how to finish off the attack. Sometimes we are so close but unfortunately our opponent can run away with his King or he can find an escape route.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black !important; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

I’ll not lie to you. In order to finish the attack and get the whole point (to win), you need to secure the mating net. We need to control the squares around the opponent’s King; this is what we call “<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">the mating net</strong>”.</div>

Finally, I’d like to know your thoughts about these five important aspects of attack in chess. What do you think about them? How should one make a successful attack? Or, do you face some problems when it comes to attack? </div>

I hope that the first weapon (the check) is a pretty straightforward idea. You should attack the King in order to checkmate him.</div>

In many cases, the King or other pieces can run away from a threat. For example, we attack a Bishop and he moves away. We attack him once again and he escapes the threat one more time! Therefore, we need a stronger attack. This stronger technique is the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">double attack</span>.</div>

Please note that this scenario is a little different from the previous one because we are threatening the King. The attack on the King is a very powerful and forcing method.</div>

In scenario 1, Black can choose which of the two Knights he would like to keep on the board. Probably he will choose to save the Knight that is closer to his King. In scenario 2, White should protect his King and, after that, Black can capture the Bishop.</div>

Here, we can see the idea. White’s Queen is threatening to checkmate on h7 and the unprotected Rook on a8. Black is forced to protect the h7 square, so he will lose the Rook on a8.</div>

These are the three main scenarios of the double attack. If we are lucky, these may appear in our games and we can find them easily.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://chess-teacher.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>In most cases, however, the chess game is little more complicated. Perhaps 1-2 forcing moves will happen and then we should see the double attack. Or a double attack will be combined with another tactical motif.</div>

In the first practical example, we can spot the unprotected Rook on e7. If we attack this Rook with the move Knight to f5, then it will escape, for he can move somewhere else. As the great American player used to say, “Chess is time”. By this, he meant that we may have a plan but the opponent has his own plan, too.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

Here is a practical tip for you. If you would like to win some time, then you should attack the King! So here White plays the best move – Queen to f6. This is a double attack on the King and the e7-Rook. Black moves his Queen to g7, what else does he have?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

So we can see the updated position in the diagram below. It is White’s turn. Will White capture the rook as he had planned to one move ago?<br style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /><img alt="double attack chess" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14465" src="http://chess-teacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Picutre_5.png" style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); display: block; margin: 20px auto; outline: none; padding: 0px;" width="55%" />Of course not! Do you remember the anti-blunder technique? Before making a move, we should ask ourselves: “<em style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">What is my opponent’s threat?</em>” With his last move, Black is threatening checkmate on g2. This happens accidentally. Black hasn’t planned it ahead, as he was forced to cover his King.</div>

When we play a chess game, and especially a blitz game, we have this passion – to make quick moves – and if we find a good idea, we feel great and are impatient to perform it as soon as possible.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

Now we are in a relaxed mood because our clock is not ticking, so let’s think about this position once again. White would like to capture the rook on e7 but cannot do so right now. White should win time. How can we win time? Of course, this can happen by giving a check.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

Therefore, White plays the best move, Queen to h4. Black is forced, once again, to cover his King, and then White captures the Rook on e7.</div>

If we want to better evaluate different positions of the chess game, we would consider a lot of various factors such as development, material and positional advantage, pawn structures, weaknesses, tactics and so on.<span id="more-25220" style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"></span></div>

However, in some cases, you might be a pawn up (or have some material advantage) but yet, your opponent has the initiative or better pieces’ coordination or vice versa. Have you ever been in such situations?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://chess-teacher.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /></div>

If so, here is my question to you: how do you evaluate the positions, when the regular factors for the evaluation don’t help?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: HelveticaLT-Condensed-Light; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Remember, if your evaluation of the position is wrong, then you will choose the wrong plan to continue the game and you’ll end up playing the wrong moves. Therefore, the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">evaluation of the position in a correct way is very important</span>.</div>

There are thousands of the chess tutorials including chess books, DVDs, courses, video lessons, etc. As I often say, it is practically impossible to follow them all to make an improvement in your game. Remember, ‘<em style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Less is more</em>’ – that’s why I’m going to keep it short and simple for you.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://chess-teacher.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span id="more-25187" style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"></span><br style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /><img alt="10 tips to improve in chess" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14465" src="http://chess-teacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/10-tips.png" style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); display: block; margin: 20px auto; outline: none; padding: 0px;" width="50%" />Today, I’ll give you<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">10 best tips</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>to follow in order to make your training simple and yet achieve better results.

You will never be able to hit a target that you cannot see. Yes, setting a target/goal is the first thing you have to do. It can be the target of attaining a norm, increasing ‘X’ ELO points within ‘Y’ time, beating titled players, or even becoming the World Champion!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://chess-teacher.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /></div>

The exact definition of an “opening repertoire” is the set of openings a player is specialized in. This might be a bit boring because there are hundreds (maybe even thousands) of opening variations today – thanks to ECO code for making it easier for us to identify them.</div>

For this, you have to study yourself – you should analyse your own games to<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">know your strengths and weaknesses</span>. In fact, I’d insist that you analyze your lost games first.

Only if you analyze your lost games, you will be able to find your mistakes so you will correct them and avoid repeating them. Although, you can keep analyzing your won games (to know your strengths) as secondary while, analyzing the lost games is PRIMARY.</div>

Planning is one of the most important skills in chess. Having a neat and effective training plan (or training schedule) will boost your training, and you will make a steady progress.</div>

In simple words, imagination makes it possible to experience a whole world inside the mind. But how can this skill help you? Well, calculation and visualisation plays a major role in chess, too, right?</div>

You can achieve this through the blindfold exercises – solve puzzles without a board, go through drills, and even play a game without a chessboard. It might be hard in the beginning but, remember, practise makes a man perfect!</div>

This is quite similar to the previous tip. Flipping the board (reverse) helps you to think as your opponent. This way, you will virtually play against yourself and this improves your calculation/visualisation skills as well.<br style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /><img alt="flip chessboard" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14465" src="http://chess-teacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/flip.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); display: block; margin: 20px auto; outline: none; padding: 0px;" width="39%" />You may even solve chess puzzles by flipping the board. For instance, you can try to solve the puzzle from the Black side if it’s White’s turn. Additionally, an advanced training of this method would be having an ‘<span style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">imaginary flip</span>’ – trying to think from the opposite side without literally flipping the board. You usually do this as the “<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Anti-blunder check</strong>” when playing a game.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://chess-teacher.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /></div>

Every chess player has his/her own playing style. A player might like to play attacking chess (like Tal/Fischer) and some have the style of playing positional chess (like Kramnik/Karpov). I’d advise you not to limit yourself to one particular style or the way of approaching a game.</div>

As I said earlier, defense is a very important chess skill. At least in about 50% of a chess game, we need to defend. Many players struggle to get out of hard positions, and crumble under pressure. If you study this course carefully, you will be able to defend correctly against all level of players.</div>

Carlsen is a pawn up, and he played<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">66.Ng4+</strong>, trying to win the Black’s e7-bishop. White has a clear advantage, but Black can generate counter-play with the h-pawn, and his King may run to the queenside. If Black King or Rook manages to capture the White’s b3-pawn, then the game will end in a draw.</div>

Karjakin gave up his bishop and got an outside passed pawn for compensation. As said above, Black’s main goal is to capture the b3-pawn and draw the game with a great satisfaction. However, White still has chances to win the game. Yes, Carlsen missed a golden opportunity to win the game here.

Karjakin’s defense would have definitely impacted Carlsen’s psychology and winning confidence, as the latter failed to find the winning move. Thus, we can see that even though our defense does not directly save us from the game, the process is ‘indirect’ – breaking our opponent’s confidence to win.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://chess-teacher.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /></div>

When we are playing a game, our opponent sits opposite to us and he/she wants to win as much as we want to. Don’t forget that we are not the only one playing the game, and what is more important we are not the only ones who are playing to win. Thus, we should pay attention to our opponent’s threats and we should ask ourselves:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">what does she/he have in mind?</i></div>

Topalov who plays with the White pieces in the game above, played Nd2. This was the decisive mistake because after 35…dxc3 White has huge problems. Two connected passed pawns are very strong and Black managed to win the game afterwards. The game continued: 36.Nc4 Re8 37.Rxb7+ Qxb7 38.Qxe8 Qb1+ [38...Qb1+ 39.Qe1 c2–+] 0–1</div>

Adams who plays with the Black pieces is forced to move his King. The correct reply is Ka7 in order to protect the Knight on b6. Instead, he played Ka8 and lost a piece after the forcing variation: 34.Rxd8+ Rxd8 35.Qf6</div>

The most dangerous strategy is to leave your King in the center of the board, because the center usually can be opened easily. Thus, my advice is to castle as soon as possible and keep those pawns snug (f2,g2 and h2) right in front of your king.</div>

Many chess players leave their King in the center for long time, and because of that they lose their games. I hope that you will not make this mistake and will secure your King.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="https://chess-teacher.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /></div>

Defense is a very important chess skill. In at least 50% of chess games, we need to defend. In some games, we play with the Black pieces and White makes the first move; for that reason, White has the opportunity to start the attack/initiative. On some other occasions, one will make a mistake and be forced to defend. Thus, defense is as important as attack.</div>

Let’s imagine that we have two rooks, one on f1 and the other on a1. Let’s imagine that we have only one open file, the e-file. We should think hard and find reasons for deciding<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">which rook we should move to e1</span>.</div>

If we decide to place the f1-rook there, then we should bring the other rook, the a1-rook, to e1! This is a very well-known rule and it is useful in practice. What I’m trying to say is that some rook moves are mysterious. But after this lesson, you will understand clearly<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">how to play with rooks</span>.</div>

The rooks should go to open files.

White has finished the opening tasks and developed all of his pieces. How should he play now? This is the critical moment for White because he has a lot of options. Should White play f4, or Nd5, or capture on c6, or develop the queen with Qd2, or play something else?</div>

The position is about equal and has good potential for both sides. Please think for 3-5 minutes from White’s point of view and try to find the best move for White.</div>

<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">11.Re1!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></strong>We should place the rooks on open files, when we have open files. As the game proceeds, it is possible to exchange some pawns or to exchange some pieces. If we exchange some pawns, then one file can open. Similarly, we can exchange some pieces and then we can have an open file that way.</div>

Usually in the Accelerated Dragon variation, White castles on the queenside and, after that, prepares the attack on Black’s kingside. In this particular variation, Black forces White to castle short. White cannot attack Black’s monarch, so he needs to play in the center. The most typical move for White is to play the knight to d5. If Black exchanges this central knight, then White will recapture with the e-pawn and we will have a semi-open file there.</div>

If we compare the White and Black rooks, then we can see that White’s heavy pieces are much more active. Black pieces, including queen and rooks, are not standing well, have no active role, and possibly need to defend the e7-pawn in particular.</div>

By contrast, White’s heavy pieces are very active, control a lot of space and are now ready to jump into the attack. Black’s king is not well protected. Black manages to exchange the dark-squared bishops in order to achieve a good knight vs bad bishop on b3, but now he will pay the price. The dark squares and the fianchetto formation are really weak.</div>

We place the rooks on open files or try to open files for them. With his last move, White is trying to open files against the king. White would like to exchange some pawns and open files for the rook on h4.</div>

Tactics serve a good strategy. Black’s knight is pinned, so White uses this fact to transfer the rook to the semi-open e-file and press the weak e7-pawn.</div>

White uses the rook lift technique. Another common way to develop the rooks is to transfer them in front of pawns. We can do that by moving the rook from the first to the third rank. We can see now that the rook is very active and ready to go to f3, in order to pin the knight, or it can go to g3 and put pressure on the g6-pawn. Black resigns.</div>

In the grand finale, he was pitted against Artem Verdiya, who had not even dropped half-a-point in the entire event. The first two games, held in 25-minute time control, ended in draws. A two-game match with 15-minute time control became necessary to break the tie.</div>
