A Simple Method to Enjoy Chess Improvement

SPAR is a simple method to help players like myself get more out of their focused chess time - from enjoyment to improvement. By keeping it simple and knowing what to focus on, we can build good training habits and get the most out of chess, around our potentially busy schedules. We cover: - How to approach solving chess positions - In-game thought process - Learning from our mistakes - Using analysis to study all aspects of the game - How to assign our precious time in a constructive way There is a good video from chess.com (no affiliation) that covers main tactical themes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1gWHIpQNVU I also like the book 'Chess Tactics From Scratch' by Martin Weteschnik (again, no affiliation): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chess-Tactics-Scratch-WETESCHNIK-M/dp/1907982027 I hope to make a video covering chess opening principles soon, and I already made one about building an opening repertoire using the Lichess Study page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7t9OPl7ojU&list=PLzmTvVvBJHCLzlZoHcb3CcGpBPGqFIYke&index=2 Here is my previous video on analysis, where I walk through my approach step-by-step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhK9YqeWlTU&list=PLzmTvVvBJHCLzlZoHcb3CcGpBPGqFIYke&index=3 You can see the game played and the positions analysed in this video in the Lichess Study here: https://lichess.org/study/pYrBvDWS/uTKoAt5F Connect with me on Lichess: @TattooKnight My channel URL: https://www.youtube.com/ @AnthonyGilesChess THANK YOU for taking the time to watch this video.
