The Chess Learning Process



The Chess Learning Process

The Chess Learning Process

Chess is a complex game that demands a high level of concentration, and patients to be successful at it. You can never really master the game to its full potential because after the first two moves the game is almost infinite. In the last couple of years I have set off to make my self a master player, I have played chess since I was 9 but I never really made any progress to this year until I read Josh Waitzkin book The Art of Learning. It opened my eyes to something I had never liked doing, and a lot of amateurs player don’t like doing, and that is studying the game. A lot of players just play but never put in the hours of deliberate practices to be a master. We see masters play, and we say well the reason why he/she is so good is because he can see 20 moves ahead, and has a memory like a computer in which master players do have great memory’s, its not because they are born with a super brain but because of 10,000 hours of deliberate practices. Chess master learn by chunking  positions into patterns that is turning random letters into words just like you learn your ABC's. When you was a baby, and from their you learn how to read that is the same way a chess master learns to play any position on the board, if you like skateboarding like me, and have skated then you must know that the  cool moves you see Tony Hawk, and many others doing takes a whole lot of HARD PRACTICE to master. When it took me more then a 100 attempts just to do one kick flip, and just because I did one kick flip does not mean I have mastered it so why could I do 100 kick flip, and only land 1 but I don’t like to practice my chess game well I know why at least to me, read a chess book when you are a beginner like I was 9 years ago with no coach are anyone else that likes to play and wanted to be a great player like me it is very hard to do! if you start reading a book that’s to advance you will not play chess very long because you will be confused by advance material you must learn the basic of the game first then you must repeat everything you have learned over and over an till you get it down then you need to find a player who is more stronger then you and is also trying to  better his game, you got to be motivated you have to really love the game if you want to go far in your chess career, but the main thing is you got to have fun skateboarding is fun! and that is why i  can practices so hard chess has to be fun and that's why i like the Internet you can have fun while you learn to play better chess.
If you cannot afford a coach that is, OK you really do not need a coach an to you are pass the expert level the many problem that newbies and players under 2000 Elo is tactics and hanging pieces you dot need to know how to do a 360 kickflip if you do not know how to do a basic kickflip.

FEDOR IS NOT RETIRING

Fedor Emelianenko is not retiring after the brutal beat down he took from Antonio  Silva, in the first round of the Strikeforce World Grand Prix Heavyweight Tournament, coming into the fight Fedor and Silva was clearly a mismatch weight wise just like the UFC Brock Lesnar used his superior size to dominate Frank Mir,Silva got on top and never let up the, ground and pound from Silva was devastating. Now that Fedor Emelianenko has lost two fights straight in Strikeforce and contemplated retirement,he needs to take some time off relax and start training in Brazilian Jujitsu, comeback and move down to the Light Heavyweight division. He still has all the skills to be a Champion he is just not the best heavyweight in the world anymore, he can still be the best Light Heavyweight in the world, he just has to train harder and fight guy's his own size,he really needs to work on his BJJ submission defense.

CHAD "MONEY" MENDES The stand-out UNDEFETED TEAM ALPH MALE FEATHERWEIGHT and URIJAH FABERS prodigy in the division is becoming a great striker in his last THREE fights he have really improve his stand up game and, he is not just using his superior wrestling to smother his opponents. If he can keep this pace up he will be challenging the CHAMP JOSE ALDO even if MENDES comes into the fight undefeated it will still be hard for him to over come the beast of the division ALDO, but he has great training partners and one of them is one of the most exciting and toughest fighter in the UFC,URIJAH FABER who has already fought ALDO and knows how dangers the man is, so when the fight does happen MENDES will have a great game plan and look for more improvements in his stand up and jujitsu game, his last three fights was wins against top competition in each win he is showing his skill's in boxing, throwing combinations and good straights what else would you expect from a TEAM ALPH MALE fighter.

COWBOY DOES IT AGAIN

DONALD “COWBOY” CERRONE Went into UFC 126 without even knowing who he was going to fight that is just how dictated and hunger the former WEC lightweight Contender is,when the fight started his opponent PUAL KEELLY Throw a sucker punch CERRONE just takes him down the rest of the first round PUAL KELLY should some great boxing connecting with hooks,uppercuts and straights while the COWBOYS excellence kickboxing was able to keep the first round close .In the second round
KELLY continue his great striking to throw CERRONE off his game but in the end the top notch submission game of COWBOY DONALD CERRONE seals the deal, he gets a huge take-down and KELLY never gets back up as CERRONE submits KELLY via (rear naked choke) 3:48 of the second round. After the fight KELLY tried to apology for his dirty move at the start,for CERRONE next fight he needs a more all around opponent that will push him to show the UFC how great of a fighter he is maybe Ultimate Fighter Season 5 Champion NATE DIAZ.
