Banawa Chess

The Conquering King

An excerpt from a new and attractive book "What Chess Coaches Don't Tell You", which contains recommendations on what Chess Coaches should be working with their students:

Setting up a Solid Chess Foundation, With or Without a Chess Coach. We begin our book by tackling the key activities that chess players need to know in order to
build a solid foundation for their chess training regime. All of which can be done whether you are self-training or have a chess coach.

1. Working Hard with a Set Purpose
—What does working hard mean exactly?
Defining Chess Goals and Developing a Plan to Achieve Them
The first step is to define your chess goals and develop a plan to achieve them. Once your chess goals have been established and your plan developed, we discuss the important elements that make up a proper training regime; and that is where you are to direct your hard work on a regular and consistent basis.

2. Analyzing Your Games
—By properly and consistently analyzing your games, you can discover your areas of strength and weakness, and most importantly, it can provide direction on where to focus your chess
studies.

3. Creating an Opening Database
—It’s important to know your opening lines, so building an opening repertoire and regularly studying and improving your openings can help you to start all your games off well.

4. Will to Win: Essential Endgames
Those eager chess players who are willing to fight tooth and nail to the very end often are rewarded with favourable results. Studying certain elementary endgames can come in handy if you’re playing a game that simplifies into one of them (or an endgame that shares
similarities with what you’ve studied).

5. Tactics and Chess Studies
—Regularly solving tactics problems and chess studies are highly beneficial to developing good tactical pattern recognition that you can then employ in your games.

6. Slowing Down
—Good chess play requires slowing down, in order to do things such as deliberating between candidate moves, figuring out why the opponent moved there, devising how to improve
badly placed pieces, and much more.

7. Training Games
—Training games from a set position that enter into specific chess topics are helpful, as are training games with stronger opponents, which can help build confidence when playing higher rated opponents at tournaments.

8. Tension: To Exchange or Not To Exchange
—Mature chess play often evolves from patiently building up your position, as well as maintaining the pressure and complexity of the position. Studying such positions and working on exercises can help you develop these skills.

Does your Chess Coach do these things?
