Chess Training Tips-Play Chess

Chess Training Tips-Play Chess
Play as often as you can against strong opposition.
Another cool training tip? Play as often (Chess Club, The Internet, Your PC Chess Program) as you can against strong opposition. Too many people make the mistake of dumbing-down a computer player or handicapping the computer so you can beat it.
Play the computer on as high a level as you can get it.
You should only beat it around 25% of the time. When you beat it more than that, its time to move up a level.
It also helps to play as much slow chess as possible, rather speed chess. Write down all the games you play at a slower speed. Study them to see where you went wrong.
A GM once told me they were 3 ways to get better: two were playing strong opponents and the other was writing down your games...and studying them
Another tip is to analyse good Master/GM games deeply
Only this way can you study your mistakes and figure out what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong.
