Playing well and having a good chess understanding is what every chess player is looking for. However, when it comes to practice this is not the only thing that matters.

This means that even if your play is good, bad management of the time you spend on your moves will eventually lead to time trouble when bad moves can easily happen.

Tactics and Calculation Training
Yury Markushin
10.14.2019

The tactics and calculation training is the most important type of training a chess player can undertake if he or she is serious of his or her chess improvement.

The reason for this is that all chess games are decided by tactics. You cannot win if the opponent does not make a mistake – hence you have to take advantage of that mistake. While the mistake can be of various types, from the one-move blunders to a “small” positional detail 4 moves into a line, the mistake is always tactical in its essence. Something was missed and the opponent can take advantage of that miss.

How Good is My Chess: 6 Things to Check

There is no chess player who has not asked himself that question. And it is not about ratings or titles, because, let us be honest about this, we all think we are better than what those two parameters suggest.

The question is a serious one because it does not only determine our current strength but it should also give some idea of our own potential, how good we can be.

So how to answer that question?

5 Powerful Tips to Deal with Chess Defeat

Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.

This is a very popular saying that’s even more popular among chess players. As good as you get, you can’t help but lose a game from time to time or draw a completely winning position which, to be honest, sometimes feels just as bad as a loss. Defeat is part of the game and in my opinion, one of the most notable characteristics of a sports person is knowing how to deal with it and accepting it with grace.

However, for one reason or another, not everyone can keep up with regular training and very often, we are at a stage where our next tournament is approaching and the time we have to prepare for it is limited.

What should we do then?

In this post, I would like to show a very simple, yet a very effective principle that is present in every game of chess.

While we can do pretty well during our lessons, training sessions with friends or coach, an official competition forces you to make your best effort and put to work your best competitive skills and character. Of course, usually there are hundreds of other colleagues doing exactly the same and as if this didn’t sound hard enough there is the time pressure.
