All you must do in a puzzle is find a misplaced piece or pawn and calculate, but there was an entire game before that point (and still is a game after that point if it's not a mate puzzle) and you're not going to have great tactics if you're being crushed in your games. Tactics are only one part of the equation and there is a limit to how useful it is to spend all your chess training on positions that already have accomplished much of the hard work for you. There are other things besides puzzles that need to be done. The untimed puzzles offer the benefit of adding to your ability to calculate. You need to act like this is the world championship and every move counts. You need to spend quality think time on them and fully calculate all the moves. The point of doing so few is for a few reasons: 10-20 minute intervals and your visualization will improve dramatically. only 1 or 2 weeks of this daily training at. it's very stressful and difficult to do, so you won't want to do it, but the hard-work is rewarded quickly. you have to puuuushh to the point where you really can't hold the position any more and try a few more moves still. This exercise will dramatically increase your vision.- Another way to do this would be to have an annotated chess book and try to read all the moves between the diagrammed positions, and really stretch your mind.
#Improving chess tactics update
Push the arrows and update the position, then, try to go from there in your head and keep going. Go to and go through a game without moving the "next arrow" just look at the notation and when you run out of the ability to hold it in your mind, be it 2 moves or 6 or 10 moves. at your level deviations will happen quite quickly, but you need to learn the idea and what you're trying to accomplish.įinally one final tip from myself. I'd learn at least the basic idea and a few moves. Typical Pawn Structures and the themes associated with those structures: Ī few openings are on Wikipedia, mainly popular mainlines, don't waste too much time trying to memorize them, but don't ignore them, people really downplay opening studying: if you click the names of the openings, like "Ruy Lopez" and "scotch" there are entire pages dedicated to them. You don't need to memorize all of this, but it should point you in the right direction. This is just general information I'd look over to understand what you're really dealing with as far as chess is concerned. Study this webpage very thoroughly and it should open your eyes to the positional considerations that you should be making when assessing a position and coming up with a plan. I highly recommend buying Jeremy Silman's "amateur's mind." I will give a link to the book, this webpage is basically an overview of it. Don't move unless you have a clear tactical sequence in mind and have fully thought out your opponent's replies and your moves. Calculate the entire sequence of moves until you think you've got it correct. Do the "standard" puzzles, because they are not timed. [ Warning Do NOT guess what move is correct.
#Improving chess tactics free
Do 5-10 (no more than that) Chess puzzles on (with a free account). Read every word and go through the examples, process all of it, be honest with yourself if any of the tactics surprise you or were not immediately apparent to you. Study all of this information first I don't care if you feel that you know it, or if you DO know it. Try doing what i tell you, i mean hell, you think you haven't improved for months, so what harm is there in doing what I say?
