September 2017

Tip of the month for September is - Learn why you lose.

When you lose a game try and identify why you lose. 5 general areas are: Do you consistently get a bad position out of the opening? Are you outplayed in the middle game or end game? Do you miscalculate tactics? Do you get into time trouble?

When you have identified your weakest area target it with a little study or changes to your playing style.

Ie if your middle game is weak either read a book on the middle game or change your style to try and swap pieces quicker to reach an end game sooner.
