My teacher, who is a GM told me to set your computer chess program where you win approximately 1 out of 3 times...As you get better, increase the strength & play games at least 30 min or longer; or play with setting the search depth. Remember you need to lose a lot of games to learn, providing your spending the time going over the games played. Also on the flip side, if you lose all the time and your personality is where you will get discouraged, like I have had some players in my chess club lose and think they can't play chess and quit, I will even lose or try to help them so they don't get discouraged...BUT if they play an ordinary player that is not a tournament player or strong club player, most likely they will win. My GM teacheR said to go over ever game, analyze it for both sides at a very strong strength, so you can better your game. Just remember all of of average players will have a plateau we will reach; if not, all will become MASTERS, GM'S...ETC. tHE BIG PROBLEM IS CHESS IS NOT OUR PROFESSION LIKE A GM; we all have either families, work, etc. Hope this helps! Lastly, It takes a lot of work & time, nothing is set in stone, & everyone is different. Please don't take al of this as if I'M A GM, i'm not.
