If you are reading this, you are probably one of those players who wish to become a better chess player and to win games (or at least not to lose). I’m sure that there is no need to tell you that becoming a better chess player is a huge job, which requires many things such as:
Desire (you really must want to become a better chess player, no matter what it takes )
Time (you must have a free time for your chess education)
Appropriate Training Program (it’s a lot better to have some training program than none, if you’re serious about chess)
Money (it is useful to have some sort of recourses you can invest to hire a coach, buy books and other chess supplies)
Okay, what if you already understand that chess isn’t an easy sport and maybe you already invested some of your time looking through my previous guides: How to Get Better at Chess and Chess Self Improvement Guide. It seems like you doing everything correctly but the progress is not there or it is extremely slow or ambiguous. If you feel like that’s you, read on. In this article my main objective is to systematize these very common and extremely negative chess habits which slow down player’s chess development. Here are 7 bad habits:

Hmm the only thing i’m guilty of there is playing too much online chess. But I live in an area where no one knows how to play chess haha no clubs, no tournaments, no events, no players. What should I do?
WOW This is a wake up call for me. Now I’ve seen this I’ve realised that I do play too much online playing blitz. I will certainly start studying more than I practice from now on.
A chain is as strong as it’s weakest link. So understand the reasons for bad results, and improve the weakest link… ? 🙂
I think there is nothing wrong playing online games of course i improve alot from there I think its ridiculous making a comparison in real chess or in online because its the same thing but except for online cheat because its not benefiting any cheating ur’re selves Being a Titled player doesn’t mean you are the only one that is good which is making me sick cause sometimes shits happen
Dear rolly amparado,
I understand that a list of important chess books would be put up on the site.
You may check it out when it appears.
Dear tom,
Thanks for reminding readers of this classic by Rudolf Spielmann.

However, the method of sacrifice has further evolved since the days of the late master.
Also, it is useful to see sacrifices as part of tactics and tactics in turn as part of strategy.
reading books much better
The art or Sacrifice in Chess best book
Actually, solving tactics is another good way to improve fast, give it a try: [url][u][b]http://www.thechessworld.com/learn-chess/33-problems/156-chess-tactics-study-2-mate-in-2[/b][/u][/url]
Okay, I suppose with more books and stuff I would have gotten better faster
Yes, see, Gabriel, it took you 6 years to get good enough to get 50% against your father. As I pointed out, the rate of progress is much slower with no studying. Maybe if you read some chess books it would take you just one year to get to that level.
But I see your point. Thanks for the comment.
hey I suppose you are right on most things, but I did learn chess without actually studying it.
I played with my dad when I was 8, at the beginning I lost always, then at around 12 I started winning some games and at 13-14 (now) I am winning half of the games
And even though neither I nor my dad are very good players I would say we are decent enough to prove that point wrong.
Otherwise: Yes, I agree totally.
You’re welcome my chess colleague 🙂
thanks for the article .. helps the learners 🙂
