4.In this section we consider what you can do to train your brain to improve your game playing skills.1.Daily workout
It is very easy to find tactical puzzles and train.However,you must try to solve them.Don't just stare at the position for 10seconds and then turn to the solution.You won't learn anything.Have a go at trying to solve the puzzle.If you got it right then great----well done.However,if you got it wrong,then have another look.Ask yourself questions such as the following:
•Why did I get it wrong?
•What was wrong with my solution?
•What was the weakness that the tactic exploited?
Where can you find tactical puzzles?
It's easy.They are everywhere.Many newspapers,including Independent,and magazines have a daily or weekly chess puzzle.Key"chess puzzles"into Google and you'll find a whole load of them.There are plenty of puzzle books.
2.Use software
Nowadays chess software is terribly cheap.World Champion Vladimir Kramnik recently lost a match 4-2against a software program.This program is available for about£30.
In general,people use chess software for the wrong reasons.They often play game after game against the machine and get beaten every time.Bored with this,they turn the playing level right down so that the program is almost playing random moves and then they can beat it every time and feel better.
Neither method will help you improve.However,chess software can be a fantastically useful learning tool if used in two particular ways.
The first is if you have tried to solve a puzzle but it's a bit too difficult and you don't really understand the solution.Never mind----well done for trying.Now set the position up on the program and try different moves.Chess software is faultless at tactical play.It will instantly tell you the right and wrong moves and why they do or don't work.
Secondly you can run over games you have played to learn where you have gone wrong and where you could have improved.Get into the habit of keeping the score (i.e.writing down the moves) of games that you play.This will help you to improve and refine your understanding of tactical themes and patterns.
