I am not sure. Maybe it is easier for you, playing blinfolded, that you think. I cannot imagine a single FM that can't play blindfolded. >>I am not close to be FM today but I never tried to learn chess seriously. >> >>Uri > >The last part means that the main learning of me was simply playing games in >tournaments and analyzing them with a computer and the gap between me and FM's >is not so big that I have no chance against them. > >I drew games against FM's in the past. > >I believe that I could do clearly better by the following steps to train: > >1)using chess software for training >2)taking private lessons from GM's >3)playing games against chess programs every day and analyze the games in order >to learn from mistakes. 4) Study the classics, 5) Play blindfolded :-) it is a terrific way of training your tactical vision. 6) Seriously study endgames. 7) play tournaments OTB, 8) analyze those games seriously, 9) choose a limited opening repertoire and study the typical middlegames and endgames that derive from them. 1 and 3) are not that important, it is nice BUT: There is not enough time to play one game a day and analyze it. Analysis should be done *without* a computer, you might want to check it with a computer *after* you think you are done. Regards, Miguel > >Uri
