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
