I remember I used to pay 30$ per session with a chess coach, but nowadays there are many other ways to improve with paying much less and not necessarily to a human
Most of the content both online and offline focuses on openings, most only a few is on the other 2 parts of the game. Do you any good resources regarding these 2?
Did you use a human coach or some other tool?
Is there a human coach that helps you or some other tool?
Has anyone tried it? Is it any good? Other than playing against other players, what is the point of it?
Comparing chess analysis to solving a software engineering problem, the two seem surprisingly similar. Both require looking ahead, evaluating consequences, and choosing among many possible paths. In chess, this means calculation and positional evaluation, while in software development - architecture and implementation decisions. Given these similarities, why are LLMs (somewhat) good at coding but still much weaker at chess?
I personally usually don't but I think a tool that cross references all my online games and gives insights might be very helpful for improving
I used to prepare with chessbase (10 years ago), but wanted to know if people still use it or there is something better
If I'm white, for me it is the Najdorf sicilian
I want something like chess.com, which has support for interactive board analysis (arrows for example), and well documented.
For me I think it is not utilizing my time properly. Sometimes I just play fast and miss simple things which loses my games.
I usually analyse my games in chess.com/lichess, but keep blundering in real games and not improving. Does it happen to you as well?
If so, which tools do you use?
