Re:Too aggressive? - 2007/04/23 18:17
i have kind of the same problem. i play okay, but i'm not anywhere's near as good as i want to be. i would suggest reading some material. alot of people i've talked to have suggested against this, but i think it's great for some people who just really need someone to explain to them in exhausted (spl?) format what is the best move to make. since it's so difficult to really get a one-on-one teacher in real time, i would suggest reading material on opening, middle-game, and end-game strategies. if you have a good understanding and strong foundation in strategies, then it will help you to understand what exactly the best move would be to make. you don't have to stick to a strategy, in fact, the key is simply to use a strategy to your advantage so that you notice some moves and already have a quick and effective comeback with it.
I've been reading alot on the opening strategies, because that's what calls the game to play. after that, the strategy is basically your own. the opening game ends when one player castles, after that, it's in the middle-game and it's basically no longer your strategy playing, rather YOU playing on that strategy.
Some strategies include Alekhine's Defense, Silician Defense, and much more, but remember, a strategy is simply for you to base off of. when you base off this strategy, you can either help yourself or ruin yourself. this is key because sometimes your opponent also knows alot about these strategies and also how to defend against them. the downside to using a strategy is that if your opponent finds some way how to completely foil it, and you can't think of another one, then you're on your own from there, no strategy will help you. after that it is just you, your good moves, and your ability to understand what your opponent's best move is and how you can make your best move to both foil his/her best move and to give you the advantage at the same time.
i would suggest some material from Fred Reinfeld, especially a book entitled "The Complete Chess Guide".
good luck!
