So! YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET GOOD AT CHESS..... Then the question actually becomes :How do we exactly improve our chess skills? Well, there are specific things which you must do. And quite a few wrong ways to train. Improving our chess ability can be compared to climbing a mountain and you cannot expect to sprint all the way to the top of the chess mountain. It's just not that simple. There are 'plateaus' which you will find that you need to acclimatize yourself with. That's just the way it is, you will get to a certain level and not be able to get further for a little while. The amount of wait depends mainly on how accurately your learning focuses on your specific needs. Beginners can usually be taught to attain an 800 (Elo rating*) in less than twenty days. Chess players can then be frustratingly stuck around 900-1000 points for years or they can be taught the proper tools they need to progress to higher ratings in less than 6 months. An earnest student will derive terrific satisfaction by following this type of customized instruction. They will benefit greatly by witnessing measurable milestones. Correctly sequenced foundational study is the best way up the chess mountain. Please click on the Elo button below for an explanation of 'Elo Ratings' LOCAL CHESS NEWS FOR ANNAPOLIS AND SURROUNDING AREAS YOU WILL SEE an increase in your Elo chess ratings very soon if you just keep playing and taking notes. Just don't ever get discouraged. If you are a sore loser, then..... GO PLAY A SPORT WHERE NOBODY EVER LOSES! LOL ; ) Chess is sport, Chess is art, Chess is FUN! www.LUBIENSKI.com Andrew Lubienski, 300 Kenmore Ave, Edgewater MD 21037 EMAIL: Lubienski@hotmail.com TELEPHONE: (305) 942-3290 © 2009,10,11,12 1/2 Sweet Potato Productions, All Rights Reserved Designed and maintained by webmaster Andrew K.
