Factors to evaluate position

• Quantity

• Quality is 2nd

  • What kind of pieces you have

• Time is 1st

  • How quickly achieve the goal

Factors of analysis

• Depth

• Branches

  • All possible analysis

• No or less mistake

• Less time in analysis

Tips

• • When there is attack, don't go for defense. If you do so, opponent will get confidence on his move

    • Its not easy to win over confident opponent since he will do lesser mistake

    • Play in the little worse position rather then be defensive

  • Board visualisation is very important

  • We should not go for pre-mature attack unless opponent has done terribly wrong

  • There are many sequence of moves. One should learn them

  • If opponent has not made any mistake and you try to punish, then it is not the risk for the opponent, rather it is risk for you as well.

  • If opponent is very strong, then opponent will be in middle when you are still in opening

    • When you moves all 8 pieces then it is called that your opening has end

  • Don't give opponent enough time to do whatever he wants to do (Ref: https://youtu.be/bSC1ggUK2Wk?t=3135)

  • Intuition is important, however intuition is reflection of your strength only. Mix of intuition and calculation is important(Ref: https://youtu.be/bSC1ggUK2Wk?t=4001)

    • If time is less, then you can trust your intuition. However, it will cause issue if you have less capacity.

    • Also, calculation helps you to become better by learning

  • Solve online puzzle

    • Don't move pieces

    • Verify answer after double checking your move

  • Champion quality is to come up with his own idea

    • Idea may be wrong. However it allows to learn

  • While playing, you not only see your move but also look at opponent move

    • It is very important look at opponent move

  • Hard work is important

    • Else improvement will be too gradual and also it will not be upto mark

Moves

• • Pawn blocking the move of bishop is good. Think before opening the way.

  • Avoid pawn chain formation in opponent.

  • If development of your position is important, then sacrificing an attacked pawn is also fine.

  • While move, don't block your own things.

    • For example, move of your horse blocking your own bishop is not right (Ref here)
