Following games Online, the new method of chess training
Following games online is one of the newest and most effective methods of training for the busy chessplayer. When I say busy, I’m talking about people who can’t dedicate a lot of time to working on chess because of different reasons. The good thing about following games is that you can nowadays do it with ease, thus making use of all that time that is considered to be “wasted” time. For example, when traveling or when just sitting idle by the beach. In our articles for The Chess World we have recommended this method more than once. When you’re following a game you should not hurry and turn the engine on in order to entertain yourself, but you should try to learn, from theory to new ideas and patterns.

Book Review: Luther’s Chess Reformation by Thomas Luther

The games are explained with more observations than complex variations, making the study quite pleasing. The reader will quickly fall inside the Grandmaster’s mind and learn what GMs think.… Read more
