help me

High rated players that advice to study the endgame first did not study the endgame first. Trust me. If you want to improve do not follow them. Slowly studying bits of endgame is ok.

"... Logical Chess [(Batsford edition by Chernev)] ... a collection of 33 games ... is definitely for beginners and players who are just starting to learn about development, weak squares, the centre, standard attacking ideas, and the like. In many ways, it would [be] a wonderful 'first' book (or first 'serious' book, after the ones which teach the rules and elementary mates, for example), and a nice gift for a young player just taking up chess. ..." - IM John Watson (1999)

"... Sure, fast games are fine for practicing openings (not the most important part of the game for most players) and possibly developing decent board vision and tactical 'shots', but the kind of thinking it takes to plan, evaluate, play long endgames, and find deep combinations is just not possible in quick chess. ... for serious improvement ... consistently play many slow games to practice good thinking habits. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

do lots of puzzles,play slow games and think a lot.

as someone said play the opening like a book the midlegame like a magician and the endgame like a machine and allways look at all the board and verify what changes the opponents play have resulted on. slowly patterns will appear and lines and squares will combine with the pieces to form possibilities and u will be able to see new things appering at the board, than try not to go crazy cos it may happen as u reach other levels of the game. high level chess takes its toll, be aware. i stoped chess at the age of 17 only to start again at the age of 49 to allow myself a normal life. my advise is - have fun

Hi,

I try to learn one new chess idea/concept a day. It could be a tactical pattern, information about pawn structure, an opening idea, or some other thing. If you work on learning something new every day, it'll add up over time. Today I learned many things actually, such as how National Masters can more aptly handle worse positions and wait for you to make that one mistake, then flip the game around and crush you. I also learned I've got some chronic opening misplay that I need to work on and learned some new patterns that I simply was blind to and allowed my opponents to utilize against me. I learned when my opponent gives me a material advantage, I have to continually seek active play and be mindful of their attacking ideas, their desperados. Every day is a chance to learn at least one new thing, and if you can laugh at yourself and take the chance to learn and not get frustrated with yourself over mistakes, good things will follow.
