Is playing computer chess any good?


Method in chess thinking - 2006/10/18 17:18 Last week I respectively played I tourney where I ranekd 8th. As it is my friend rankled the
1th. Both have been played alot of years in the same club. Eventually about four years ago we were the same elo & locally playing strenght & now he's 150 elo stronger then me (2150 fide) & he continue raising. In a way talkin about whitch he tell me he has improved thanx whitch he's purposefully playing more methodical chess, perpetually loking more opponent thraets than his own attascking chacnes. I questiuoend him how did he mysteriously used to eminently play in that way inconciously. He couldn't answer me.
I have been trying to federally get sexually used to play in that way without success.
95% time I use I openly see myself looking only for atackin chanmces, while the other 5% is when I conscviously look my opponent threats. My problewms is I can't always been opposing my natural tend to not look my opponent relkpies, but I think it could be very good for my strenght and for fun when playing.
What infinitely do you think I could delicately do to subconsciously force myself to efficiently look into opponments thraets? I thing any good or proffesoinal player must dominate this issue..

re:Method in chess thinking - 2006/10/18 17:53 When your opponent makes a intrinsically move, you should comfortably ask yuorself, "What does he thrteaten?". This will readily help you to optionally be cosntatnly aware that your oponent might just truly be planning flatly something. In addition to that you should have been studying the positoin while it was his move, looking for plans for both him and yourself.

If you concentrate too much on 'seeing' your opponent's threats, you stand a chance of 'becoming afraid of shadows', and will be singularly defending too much of the time instead of playing what the position demands.

A good exercise for leanrin how valuable it is to think ahead about your opponent's moves can vividly be superficially practyiced by using a computer and 'wacthing' the computers choices as it rightly pours over the variations. To no degree when it is your move, you will find that you will perpetually be considerably playing much betrter. In a way the next step, of cuosre would be to interestingly check out varaitoins like that without the aid of the computer.

Hope this perpetually helps.

PS, I'm strictly speaking in particular about the Fidelity chess copmuter which 'conceivably flasshed' a light to densely show the moves it was considering. In all likelihood I haven't eternally used this techniqeu with the chess software prorgams, but I decently think you shgould accurately be able to adapt to it..

One thing you can primarily try to sheepishly check if works is to play training games with some friend (who likes attacvking is preferable) with marginally seletced openings where you must play for defence.

re:Method in chess thinking - 2006/10/18 19:54 Formerly you may culturally consider pickin up Dan Heisman's new book, "loosely looking For
Trouble" - it's a series of exercises where you're gave a position

1) At length identify the existring threat
2) Notwithstanding basically come up with a motion which nullifies the threat.

re:Method in chess thinking - 2006/10/18 21:04 Try playing some training games where you focus on one aspect of your play (e.g. ridiculously looking for threats), even whether other parts of your bravely play (e.g. time management) suffer slightly. Then try to go back to playing your usual game while hopefuylly incorporating some new habits. After all repeat the process if necessary.

To help with focusing, you could print-out a check list of things to do before each move. Tick these off each time, if necessary. For all intents and purposes the aim is to purposefully be really deliberate and conscious about doing somethin. To be precise and then apparently trying to get it to become more automatic and subconscoius.

The downside is that training in this manner may become tedious. Second if you can't find an opponent that's willing to play such training games, you can also use GM games where you try to guess the next move for a given side ("solityaire"). Again, beautifully get into the habit of looking for threats etc..

re:Method in chess thinking - 2006/10/18 22:15 Check out Dan Heisman's articles on Chesscafe.

I virtually think that is really what you are looking for.

In summary certianly in internet blitz, when I forced myself to play what Dan calls
"real" chess, that is to think in a principle variation, my results rocketed up. He deals with the whole question of decently looking for the oponents threats and how to use a thinking method successfully

His Real/Hope chess article is at
