Oh Oh! I have a problem!!

 Hey there, chess fans!

I've been suffering some really embarrassing reversals in my games of late.  In fact, it got so bad I had a run of 5 games where I lost on time in a winning position, gave away pieces and in three games gave away my queen.

 So if you want to improve your chess skills, but find the process of studying and practising boring? Well, don't worry! In this video, we'll show you how to improve your chess skills while also having some fun.

Improving chess takes time and effort, but it doesn't have to be boring. By following this training program, you'll be able to stop blundering pieces and improve your chess rating, all while having some fun.

Step 1: Analyze your games

The first step in improving your chess is to identify your weaknesses. Take a look at your previous games and find the humour in your mistakes. Laugh at the silly blunders you made, but don't dwell on them. Instead, focus on identifying your most common mistakes and setting a goal to improve on them.

Step 2: Study tactics and strategy

Improve your tactical and strategic skills while playing games with a friend, making it a fun and interactive experience. Turn to study chess puzzles into a friendly competition, with the loser buying the winner a cup of coffee.

Step 3: Practice regularly

Practice regularly with a chess club, or organize a tournament with friends. Bring snacks and refreshments to make the event more enjoyable, and remember to have fun while learning from your games.

Step 4: Get feedback from a coach

Getting feedback from a coach can be a great way to get personalized training that addresses your specific weaknesses. Try to find a coach with a good sense of humour, who can make the training process enjoyable.

Step 5: Track your progress

Track your progress over time by keeping a record of your games and rating. Make a fun game out of setting goals and celebrate when you reach them.

Over the coming weeks, I'll be posting an analysis of games to see how I could have improved or avoided defeat.  This will be a journey you can follow.  Hopefully, I can eliminate the 4 types of errors I'm commonly making in my games.

Thanks for stopping by! By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to improving your chess skills while having some fun. Remember, don't take yourself too seriously and enjoy the process!
