Yuri Averbakh and later Mark Dvoretsky , considered that analytical skill is actually the most important for novices to develop and the best way to do that is endgames.Averbakh and many other players and trainers(Vasily Smyslov and Aleksey Suetin were 2 of them) even believed that beginners must study endgames before anything else to first improve their analytical skill. What's your opinion on this?
Loving the channel, Kostya. Do you have a video reviewing arves? I would like to utilize that website to work on some endgame studies, but I am unsure how best to go about using the site. It is frustrating since the solutions are not hidden on screen. Any advice for this 1704 provisional player?
When you go thru a collection of annotated games, do you recommend playing thru all the presented alternative lines or do you tend to stay closer to the main moves played during the actual game? Im currently going thru Fischers 60 memorable games, and at times I sometimes find all the sub line exploration a little overwhelming. I however can see the benefit of being able to consider the pros and cons presented by various options at a given juncture in a game.
I would try to understand the verbal annotations before delving into the variations. It's possible the book is too advanced for you, in which case there are many books geared for a lower level -- Chernev, Nunn, etc
Hi kostya, I want to ask that at what strength a player should start studying annonated classical games? Like I am around 1100, so am I qualifued to study alekhine games? Will It help me in any way or will It be too advanced for me?
It depends on the annotations, depending on the author they can be advanced. But I would try it and see how you feel. If you take your time you will certainly learn quite a bit
Q1: I dont know my style yet, do i chose it or do i figure it out? if so then how do i figure it out? Q2: im going through a book you recommended jacob-aagaard-excelling-at-chess-calculation-capitalizing-on-tactical-chances. you said that you should only count the times on when you are calculating not reading a chess book or watching videos. How would i go through the book and start calculating while tracking the amount of time i only spent of calculating. What types of books do i read to only focus on calculating and critical positions? Can give me a selection of books that only have critical positions of bobby fisher or other great players.
Nice video and a great concept I"m looking forward towards the third part.
