These lessons involve how to move the pieces and the rules of the game, including the lesser known rules like castling and en passant. If you are completely new to chess, this is the best place to start!

These lessons start to get into more challenging aspects of chess, such as endgames and full board strategies, and making your pieces work together.

TWIC has been edited by Mark Crowther since its inception in 1994.[1] It began as a weekly Usenet posting, with "TWIC 1" being posted to Usenet group rec.games.chess on 17 September 1994.[2] Later it moved to Crowther's personal web site, then to chesscenter.com in 1997,[3] and in 2012 it moved to theweekinchess.com.[4]

The perfect combination: the professional database program ChessBase 17 plus the brand new world champion program Fritz19. This Christmas bundle includes ChessBase 17 as a single program and the full version of the new chess program Fritz19.

2) What did not go well?

My kids keep getting sick with various forms of viral infections. This makes it hard to keep the structure and get enough sleep during the week, but I guess it is just part of the term when you have kids. I also had to reschedule my OTB tournament game. I hope the coming week will bring some more sleep and focus!

3) What will I do this week

This week I want to work with books, not online tools. Besides that, I want to continue with 15+10 games, when I can find enough time for a whole game + some annotations.

I studied a lot, and played a lot! In fact, I got in over 10 hours of OTB this past week because of a local Saturday tournament that I entered and shared first place with 2.5/3. That brings my USCF rating to an all time high of 1693. My goal for the year is 1700! The first two games were pretty smooth wins and the last one I was happy to escape with an early draw in a bad position. I got to read and study a LOT of the Ink War, and also do a lot (probably too many due to tilt) of lichess puzzles. I crested 2100 on lichess multiple times in the middle of my nightly hour-long sessions this week but haven't been precious about it, so I would win some then lose some and just hover in that range. No big deal. It's not my final goal so why put an artificial stop there? Plus losing just means I have an opportunity to learn a new thing!

I lost a second game in two weeks at my local club for the team tournament. I admit I tilted because my opponent played a Catalan, and I hate the Catalan. I dropped a pawn, the kind of pawn that changes the evaluation to +3 for white. And it was torture from there on out. That stung. On the plus side I rage studied a bunch of catalan lines because whatever I played did not work. I already feel more prepared to try this next time, but we'll have to see how it goes.

- I no longer feel good solving puzzles / hard exercises etc by book without knowing how they are going to impact the Chess understanding / ability. Unlike other learnings, where there could be a connection between what we learn vs how much we perform / understand, in Chess its the spread is very vast. You could learn dozens of Openings with certain depth, hundreds of complex puzzles, Study various Endgame but there's no way to measure how much it has helped. So what to do? See next week's thoughts below.

I had highest rated scalp in Lichess Classical on Friday. A user who was rated 2369 got lost in complications in the Gruenfeld. I managed to reach my training goals for last week, However I feel like my goals might not have pushed me much last week.

I lost in my club game this week to a guy that really knows the Caro well. Afterward I'm starting to book up on a different way to play this opening. I've tried setups with Bf4, classical takes and although I'm comfortable with the londonish Bf4 style it's not very ambitious, I have something new to try after watching a Johnathan Schrantz video.

Ok this week I need 40 polgar puzzles and again 20 positions in Evaluate like a grandmaster. There's either blitz or rapid Over the board at the club and I'll try and steer towards complications. I'm bad in quiet boards, and my training for the last few months is all about keeping the board busy. I figure after I get evaluate like a grandmaster done I'll want to work on endgames.

The beginning of this year is tactics, the middle endgames and around September I'll work on my openings. I hate opening work but I feel that I come out of most openings well. But 2 of the higher rated club players are just well booked in their lines and I feel I never get to play for a game with them. But I want the skills to make sure that once I have a game I can finish them off instead of let them off with a draw. Good luck this week to everyone.

I spent over 4:30 hours last week on chess. Most of it were online classical games (ha!). I spent very little time training. The little I did was short periods of simple tactics training, just to log something and not be totally embarrassed. I had a busy work week, so that's my excuse.

I'll be more deliberate in my training. I should probably set fixed times to study/train to make the habit stick. Maybe assign specific times throughout the week for (a) tactics training, (b) playing, (c) analyzing games, (d) studying opening principles, (e) training simple endgames, (f) playing over exemplary games. Maybe (a) every day, (b) and (c) twice a week, (d) and (e) once a week. I'll be happy to receive suggestions from this group.

It\u2019s Monday and it is time for sharing your week review and plans for this week:

1) What went well?

Last week I spent a lot of time writing my last post, which was annotations to a 15+10 game I played during the week. It was fun to go down the rabbit hole and learn a new opening. In total, I played 12 rapid games last week and did spend some time looking at them afterward.

I also enjoyed watching Kasparov analyze/commentate on live games over on the Chess Dojo YouTube channel. There is something about Kasparov that really makes me appreciate chess even more,

2) What did not go well?

3) What will I do this week

This week I want to work with books, not online tools. Besides that, I want to continue with 15+10 games, when I can find enough time for a whole game + some annotations.

MegaBase also comes with an update service, where weekly downloads of 5000 games are provided for a year. As a point of comparison, we are currently at update number 49 for MegaBase 2015, and 245713 games have been added to the database with all updates included.

This would be sufficient as a first step in chess research and database use, but Crowther also offers his readers the possibility of downloading a copy of his complete, private database for a donation of 30. The database contains every game ever published in TWIC, and as of the last version (#1-1093) it contained nearly 1.8 million games.

There is no substitute for having a large research database such as MegaBase or BigBase at your disposal for pre-game preparation, opening research and general chess study. Because MegaBase comes with annotated games, weekly updates and the PlayerBase, it is the premier database product on the market today. Serious opening analysts and correspondence players should absolutely consider supplementing BigBase or MegaBase with CorrBase.

The equation that can be used to model the situation is y = 2 + 2x, where y represents the number of members and x represents the number of weeks. The chess club starts with 2 members in the first week and gains 2 more members each week after that.
