Thank you for the kind words and in...Hi Coderyder,<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words and interesting questions. The driving forces behind the reading list was among other things:<br /><br />- Improve the Basic Knowledge and to get a firm basis for more advanced stuff<br /><br />- Avoiding time wasting planning etc by simply following someone other's suggestions. I did however make a few changes to books I already own<br /><br />- CT is a Lifelong friend. Reading a well structured tactics book will also help me to teach the kids some tactics.<br /><br />- Basman's book is more of a generic chess book that a opening book. I will spend very little time reading my repertoire book. I will just play through the few games in the book and look up lines after my own games.BRF Fågelsångenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303373959787978980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307680597483169434.post-78938821860211776102011-11-17T12:34:27.299+01:002011-11-17T12:34:27.299+01:00Hi farbror,
Very nice post, I enjoyed it a lot!
...Hi farbror,<br /><br />Very nice post, I enjoyed it a lot!<br /><br />I have some problems with your reading list. It would be better if you give a motivation behind each book, something you want to learn by reading it.<br /><br />#2, isn't CT doing the same? You can endlessly practice every possible motif<br /><br />#4, another opening book? :-) Get your repertoire together, learn it and then just play it unless you really want to broaden your knowledge.<br /><br />#1+6+7 seem to cover very similar things. Pick one (probably not Lasker) and learn it by heart?! The finer details will only become important when you are higher rated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
