There was about 2 jears in between and several thousands Standard Tactics and Engamepuzzzels but +500? But if it would be true that my calculation did impoved that much then i recommend Standard and Endgame at CT! That was about the only training i did. Simply sit and calculate till you calculate everything till the end! No guessing allowed!

I think it would be more precise to compare the fide-elo estimates based on Standards with the ones based on blitz.Uwe Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-4566798948807569352011-03-07T19:31:22.346+01:002011-03-07T19:31:22.346+01:00Uwe,

That's why these are called <i>combinations</i> I guess.<br /><br />Analyzing games is useful, yes. But I always used the word analysis in the common sense, not in the chess sense.Temposchluckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977208394417444785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-76856862365000999322011-03-07T12:35:32.904+01:002011-03-07T12:35:32.904+01:00I am missing one important point in your analysis ...I am missing one important point in your analysis of "analysis": The Plan/Strategy. If you have a plan, and if you know the plan of your opponent your load of calculation is reduced drastically. Possible plans comes from the Opening ( Analysing Mastegames ), Pawnstructure and "Inbalances" = Positional Structure.<br /><br />There are a lot of different opinions about "Thinkingtechnics" in chess. Your Analysis reminds me of Thinking like a Grandmaster http://www.amazon.com/Think-Like-Grandmaster-Algebraic-Classics/dp/0713478853 . I try to "understand whats going on", and "see what chances might be there" , first.

Do you envision revisiting each task at some point during the year to maintain sharpness?<br /><br />I'm curious have you ever found analysing GM games to be of any help?<br /><br />Good luck down the new road!JIMjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106457445793278743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-52488789482635447902011-03-07T00:35:31.446+01:002011-03-07T00:35:31.446+01:00I've done about 10,000-15,000 complex taxtical...I've done about 10,000-15,000 complex taxtical puzzles and about 5,000 endgame exercises and found that that is not very helpful.<br /><br />About simplification and overloading: since I'm gonna adress all 23 tactical tags, I'm not worrying about the order too much. But maybe it's motivating to do the bad area's first. I will think about that.Temposchluckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977208394417444785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-72881904243163103212011-03-07T00:17:51.662+01:002011-03-07T00:17:51.662+01:00Khmelnitsky suggest to do complex tactics and endg...Khmelnitsky suggest to do complex tactics and endgame puzzles to improve in calculation.
