Analyze your games10:45
In the late 1960s, 6th World Chess Champion Mikhail Botvinnik was asked to take a look at a talented Yugoslavian youngster, Ljubomir Ljubojević; 'Ljubo'. They met, and Ljubo began showing him something over the board. Then Botvinnik in his typical serious manner asked: "Do you analyze your own games?"
"What for?", Ljubo asked in genuine surprise. And Michale concluded that nothing worthwhile would come of him. This is what Garry Kasparov wrote on his book “My Great Predecessors”, Part Two, p. 187.
There are two main ways to improve our game; one is study lessons from other players and the other one to study our games. Analyzing our games is one of the most important method of chess traininno mater what your straiunght is.
Why To Analyze Our Games?
There are many reasons to do that and I'm not going to provide all of the them here in order not to comfuze you. The most important of them are:
Compere your ideas with other people
Positive critisize in order to improve in chess
Find and eliminate your mistakes
Understand that there are other or better ways to handle the positions
What PGN Is
Chess moves can be written in "machine language" or in computer language. Thus, chess games can be written in Portable Game Notation. If we get the initial letters from this sentence, then we have the original PGNs.
Your Tasks
In order to analyze your games you need to have them, am I right? For that reason your first task is to add your them (if you have any) to your computer or mobile.
After that you should take a quick look to your games with the computer engine; as I mentioned in my video.

Description

In this training program, things are getting more serious. The majority of the lessons are based on tactical motives; nonetheless, there are lessons for visualization, traps, and common mistakes. We're going to examine some basic endgame techniques. Last but not least, you're going to learn all of the mating motives; useful tools that will help you to attack successfully later in your career.

Why I Created It?

I created the lessons in order to continue the work on Chess Training Program. After study the previous programs you'll like to go deeper with chess education and learn techniques that will help you to play better.

One of the main chess problems is the unsuccessful attacks. The only way to win a chess game is to create an attack against your opponent. You can attack his pieces or his king. Attacking the king is a key strategical subject but if you would like to do it correctly then you should know the basic mating motives. Plenty ideas published on the internet but they can confuse you, as happened to me in the past. I organized them into 10 KEY mating motives that you understand and remember very easy after study the lessons.

It's easy to see an obvious double attack. However, as you play with stronger opponents, you need to CREATE the tactics. This is very important and what you'll going to learn with this training chess program; how to create tactics and win the enemy pieces.

You can learn the most important mistakes that often happen to this level. By learning them, you'll going to understand the situation, why these errors and happen, and of course how to avoid them! Stopping make blunders will boost your performance to the next level.

Last but not least we're going to increase your endgame skills. Endgame is a very important face of the game. If you know how to play at the last phase of the game you can collect very important points and dramatically improve your technique in chess.

How Is It Structured?

The program contains theoretical videos in order to understand the main ideas. During the videos, you can get the main conclusions of the video and see the illustrative games. Then you have the tests in order to practice actively the ideas and barry them in your mind.
