7 Tips for Better Time Management in Chess
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- Time management has always been one of the biggest difficulties for me in chess. Even in longer games, I play too slowly and often find myself low on the clock. But in the last year or so, I've made a point of working on my time management, and I've actually had some solid improvement in this area. These are the tips I try to keep in mind to intentionally use the clock to my advantage!
Shoutout to JJ Lang, who talks more extensively about some of these ideas on both the chessfeels podcast (ep. 12) and in their interview on the Chess Journeys podcast (ep. 51).

The past month, I achieved a rating of 1700 after being stuck in the 1200-1300 range for years. This progress was a direct result of following the advice in your previous videos. I appreciate that your videos are concise and to the point, without any clickbait. Thank you!
What exactly did you apply that you'd say elevated your game i.e. doing tactics and openings for an hour each, playing more games, etc?
@@justinchiluwe9301 Firstly, 1700 may not seem like a significant achievement to some, but for me, it is a major milestone considering that I only started playing chess two years ago with a rating of 300. I found her video, "How I Accidentally Went from 0-2000 in Chess in 2 Years," to be incredibly helpful, and I followed most of her advice to pursue my goal. One of her recommendations was to establish a training regime, which she demonstrated by dedicating three hours to chess practice. However, I have adapted it to fit my schedule and currently allocate one hour per day. I made a conscious decision to stop playing bullet games and instead focused on 10-minute games, limiting myself to just one or two matches per day. I learned the basic lines of the London system and French defense. I also dedicated time to analyze these games thoroughly. Additionally, I have started solving puzzles as frequently as possible. Another valuable lesson I learned is to never resign, even when faced with a seemingly lost position, because at this level, opponents often make blunders. Furthermore, I have come to understand the significance of time as a valuable resource, so I have adopted a more instinctive approach to my moves rather than overthinking them. Currently, my aim is to reach a rating of 2000. :)
@@justinchiluwe9301 My question exactly. Going up 500 points in one month after years of stagnation simply by watching a few hot-girl chess videos seems mighty suspicious. Personally, I don't believe it for a second. You don't really get better at chess by watching WFM Anna Cramling or smalltowngoose Kamryn videos, it is simply entertainment in between the serious studying that you would need to do.
@VISlONARY1 yeah, a bit suspicious. I started writing down my mistakes, analyzing my games, spending hours on tactics, doing deep dives on my openings and in the course of a month went up 250 then back down 150 elo. So a 100 elo gain, not bad but not 500
@@m35926 100 in a month is great, and believable. Sounds like someone has been working very hard ; )
Great to hear you're planning to start streaming! It will be fun to watch your chess journey unfold in real time.
Another great video with some really useful tips. Thanks!
Just played/met you tonight at LSB. Good games! I could have used this video before. 😂 Keep up the great content!
Very useful tips. Thanks!
Best chess channel by far
Thank you. Tip 1 is something I haven't considered. My strongest is opening usually over 90%, middle game weakest (about 80%) and endgame is so so about 83%.
Bullet could help you improve your mouse skill if you feel like you need to get faster with the mouse and premoving, etc.
Another good topic. I look forward to your videos. If you start playing subscribers on twitch count me in!!
Great!
Please make the next video on how to recover from tilt in chess for rating between 1100-1400
People tilt in general not just people between that rating range.
@@macdonaldnnadi i really dont know man i was like 1100 then i started beating each and every single player like it was nothing winning without any problem in 1day i went from 1240, to 1388 then i faced tilt and now im 1130 i feel like im improving i went down to 1000 also and even lost to them
@@razorsuki The thing is you not tilting would have crushed those 1000s, i dropped from 1700 down to 1480 in one night, but once you take a break and come back the next day you realize you are much better and the reason you we’re losing was because you were tilting, you just have to learn to stop after 3-4 losses in a row
@@zandergilder9928the 1 or 2 games, then you stop, analyze and then play again tomorrow is one if the key suggestions here. Simple but super effective.
Hey i want you to know that you have a Brazilian fan :)
Sister iam stuck on 2000 elo can you make video to find moves in quite chess position,i hope you will make!👍👍
Having trouble not creating a better opening. Should I just do the classic openings?
That's called "reinventing the wheel." The openings that are played by top players are the proven best openings. Notice that they don't invent their own unless they're just goofing off.
i was up 10 points of material with an unstoppable pawn on the 7th rank in an OTB game at my first tournament a few weeks ago and i flagged 😭
💀
After I watcher your videos I have gained 500 elo in a week, thank you!
Damn, what's your elo now?
You must have had an elo of like 300
I was 700 now 1200, i was playing tilted and lost a lot of elo, my max before that was 1050
@@mesha8578 great job :)
@@mesha8578Nice
Good tips, but staying ahead of your opponent's clock time doesn't work in slower Classical chess. If you are playing a 90 minute game and your opponent is playing very quickly, like a blitz game, would it be wise to stay ahead of that player? No, you would be rushing and will probably make a mistake. Good idea for blitz though.
Cool vid. Would add 'play with increment'. Can you link up your insta, fanhouse and your t-shirt shop please.
