Ep. 119: Ineffective Chess Study Habits
Update: 2024-08-04
Description
Developing tournament players are often told the following: study tons of Master games, drill tactics, review mate-in-one puzzles, and do not spend more than 10% of your study time on openings. Is this advice accurate, somewhat accurate, or misguided? This week, we take a look at the pros and cons of common chess study activities. We cover:
- Offense-only exercises
- Playing vs. studying: What's the correct ratio?
- Analyzing with a chess engine
- Opening study: How much is required?
- Scaffolding
- GM game collections
- Online chess
