I wanted to remind myself- that I really intend to get beyond some of the silly cheap errors, I see over and over and over in my game.<br /><br />I'm also somewhat responding to things I have read.<br /><br />I appreciate the experience you share. this is the other side of the speed debate. if you need to be able to make a good decision fast (sometimes), sometimes you need to make a very important decision exhaustively. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03801353514449135462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368873314826988043.post-57686645030740966282015-07-28T16:08:34.605-07:002015-07-28T16:08:34.605-07:00I am not quite sure what you wanted to share at th...I am not quite sure what you wanted to share at this post. Anyway I like it and read it a few times (to catch the intention).<br /><br />It is hard to say how high level of chess are you able to understand and feel, but believe me my friend - at higher level - you should know ALL the parts of chess at decent level - otherwise you will be crushed again and again! And what is really amazing and beautiful - when your reach (minimum) B or A class (rating pool about 1800-2000) you have to ANTICIPATE the game and FORESEE the future development (to your pieces as much as to the opponent!). And what's the most difficult to me (at present): you have to (correctly) judge which elements (components) are better - yours or your opponent's.<br /><br />And after the game is over - you can see what the engine is saying. Most often you see MANY BIG HOLES at your chess ability, education and calculation. Anyway the engines are extremally strong and they can "see" such a complex positions and concepts merged that I am always wondering "how the hell they have learnt this amazing trick of deep and correct evaluation".<br /><br />And to comment your post: you are RIGHT - most patzers are NOT interested at hard work and longer process of improvement. They would like to have some kind of "magical trick" that changes them into masters... in a week (or month, but no more than that!).<br /><br />Yesterday I played a game that lasted 104 moves and close to 3,5 hours! I have drawn this game, but my opponent tortured me like a Vietnam prisoner. Today I had to make ONE critical (crucial) move and I used... 34 minutes to decide what would be the best choice (move) at this specific decision. No patzer can do it if he (or she) plays just games that last 5-10 or 20 minutes. And ask him to focus his attention and work hard at evaluation, calculation, strategy and visualisation... for the period of 3 or 4 hours straight - and most patzers would even NOT consider the option of "sitting down and grinding the board unless your opponent falters". Is it correct what I said? Do you agree on my "patrzers' diagnosis"?Tomaszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690570865003924020noreply@blogger.com
