"Chess is 99% tactics" - Richard Teichmann
Even after spending countless hours solving chess tactics online, your improvement in real games and ELO rating doesn't match the effort you're putting in. Your progress is agonizingly slow, and in some cases, even non-existent.
When you're working on a puzzle, you know that there's a tactical opportunity. You actively search for that important move. But in a real game, there's no one telling you, "Hey, there's a chance to get a fork here!" or "Consider that checkmate in 5 moves!" As a result, these opportunities often go unnoticed.
Imagine if your subconscious mind could instinctively recognize these tactical patterns in the blink of an eye.
Picture yourself easily identifying fundamental tactics as if they were second nature.
Think of this like a journey where you're getting very specific patterns stuck in your head. Repetition becomes the key to unlocking success. Bruce Lee said, "I don't fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." Tony Robbins agrees :" Repetition is the mother of skill." Move on to the next level of practicing a tactic only when you can solve numerous puzzles of the same pattern almost instinctively. This process deeply embeds the pattern in your mind.
Graphs on online platforms might indicate that you are struggling with "Removing the defender." However, they don't provide detailed insights. Did you miss it because you didn't notice a move that resulted in a knight fork or a backrank mate? Understanding the fundamental tactic behind the move is essential. Instead of broadly concentrating on a general category, prioritize mastering the essence of the tactic initially, and then progress. Identify the patterns you're less proficient in and address them directly. Once you've done that, you can move on to the next level.
Failing at a tactic doesn't mean it's beyond your grasp. It's all about repetition. However, repeating the exact same material over and over again can mislead your subconscious brain. For example, it might incorrectly recall that two bishops placed side by side signify a deflection for a smother's mate.
On the other hand, doing 500 puzzles in order to get to a new puzzle featuring the exact same pattern you failed is a waste of time.
So, what's the solution? Engage with the exact specific patterns you struggle with but in varied positions. This helps you get better at recognizing them and fine-tunes your tactical awareness.
At ChessBooster, we believe in the effectiveness of progressive training. Learn to master each tactic, from knight forks to Morphy's checkmates, before tackling more complex challenges. Your step-by-step training plan guides you at every stage to ensure a consistent improvement in your skills.
