"Learning ( =improving) without repetition is not possible."<br /><br />I would add: "...for an adult." because children can memorize things better. My son can reproduce a whole sentence in a foreign language he has never heard before. In contrast to my son, I (= an adult) even have to ask for a single new word within otherwise well known words.<br /><br />Nevertheless, repetition helps my son very much, too. So to avoid splitting hairs, rule no. 3 can remain as it is. <br /><br />The main point is: we need to repeat what we learn, otherwise we forget it. This is not only valid for learning chess!Munichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-12482115474011544222011-12-18T22:11:08.408+01:002011-12-18T22:11:08.408+01:00Aox,

That is about 140 moves per day. I don't call that cc, I call that rapid.<br /><br />Besides that he was stalling at age 14. This blog is about adult players which are plateauing so you can't draw any conclusions from a 14 yo kid.Temposchluckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977208394417444785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-90803697897704635202011-12-18T17:38:35.965+01:002011-12-18T17:38:35.965+01:00CC-Player dont improve their OTB? realy?

In these days CC might be translated as Computer-Chess but :long-time-games at chess.com should have some positive OTB-effects, because engines are not allowed there.<br /><br />Buut i always had an eye on Kacparovs explosive improvement in chess:<br /><br />Kacparov did start with tactics training at CT with an Elo ~1800+ and had short after his FM-title with ~2300<br />Since then he is doing chess.com "online" chess ( 1 move each ~3 days). He is doing his "Online" chess as "fanatic" as he did his tactics training (4000++ games in the last 2 years). Since quite a while he is not improving anymore...<br />But he is now in an age where chess is maybe not everything for him anymore?<br /><br />http://www.chess.com/members/view/Kacparov<br /><br />http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?event=1136720<br /><br />http://chesstempo.com/chess-statistics/kacparovAoxomoxoA wonderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058687381216896080noreply@blogger.com
