Thanks for the link. Great article! I too am a weak chess player, and I have
also recently had an insight about focusing on tactics instead of positional
knowledge. I have 40 chess books or so, and of course some of them are about
tactics, and I have read them, and solved the excercises, but to actually
improve from it, I haven't really been able. I know from my experience with
running (I like to run), what regular excercise will do for your ability.
Studying chess, I have missed something similar to this regular repetitive
training from physical training. In physical excercise and in learning in
general, small isolated repetitive excercise is the foundation for development.
And most chess books just have a lot of example of knowledge. No chess books
that I have read have had the intension of practically making the player improve
as much as possible in the shortest time, given the space of the book.
