tbh., I think this is way too much.
Maybe just do tactics on a regular basis and add one chesscourse.
White 1.e4, closed sicilian/king's indian attack against ... c5 and ... e6.
Panov Attack against Caro Kann. Exchange Spanish against ... e5 or Bishop Game.
Dragon against e4.
King's indian against the closed games.
Hello chesspub.com users,
the last few weeks i've been working on my studying plan for chess. I would like to share it with you and let you read it to comment it for improvement or changes.
First of all something to myself. I'm learning the depth of chess since November. Actually i've learned it since i was 8 or 9. But i havent played it for a long time. So i started playing it since November last year and got some improvement until now. Still i'm a non-rated player but im trying to change it in a couple of weeks or month by attending some open's near my home. In our chessclub i've been told that my playstrength is about 1350. Maybe its around 1450 now or even more than that. I've got high ambitions in chess and so im spending nearly my whole spare-time in my hobby.
Hope you will help me improving my studying plan below:
My Plan is actually seperated in a general part , where i got the same list each day and the second part which depends on the day. i.e. Monday is more for Tactics than for something else. Wednesday instead more for endgame and so on...
Monday: ( Tactics )
General Unit:
1/2h Tactics vision training ( www.chesstempo.com ) with a failed rate of 10. If i make more than that out of maximum 100 i'm doing 30 more.
1h Endgametheory At the moment im working with the book "Die Endspieluniversität" ( transl. "the endgameuniversity" from Mark dworetski. )
Im always taking one chapter out of it and read through it building each diagram up on the chessboard for visional training. If i finish the chapter below my set time ( 1 h ) i'm extending it to endgamepractise. There i'm building up some positions including themes i've studied in this endgamesession.
