¡Jugar, aprender y mejorar tu ajedrez debe ser algo divertido!.

En este sentido la
presente obra asume que amas el ajedrez y que si en verdad quieres progresar en su
práctica, dedicarte a trabajar en ciertos elementos
Se trata de una metodología y por lo tanto no hay muchos diagramas
Ahora, no estoy diciendo que este programa lo perfeccione instantaneamente en un
experto, ya que puede ocuparle bastante acumular la experiencia para lograr dicha
meta, la convicción de mejorar es lo primordial aquí y puedes estar seguro de que
los resultados los percibirás en cuanto apliques todo lo que corresponde al
programa primordial.
“El ajedrez, con toda su profundidad filosófica, es ante todo un juego en el que se
ponen de manifiesto, la imaginación, el carácter y la voluntad.”
Analyzing your own games is the best and fastest way to improve in my opinion.

As soon as possible after the game, write down the variations that you were
thinking about during the game, especially the ones that were not played. This will
be useful when you come back to the game after days, months, or even years. As you
improve, it will be helpful to see what you were thinking during the game. That
way, you can pinpoint how you can improve your thought process in future games.

When you start analyzing, use a chess board, but don't use an engine at first. Look
for moves where you made a mistake or missed something important. If you lost
material, go back and find the moment where you blundered. If you got into a bad
position, try to identify the moves that led to that position and evaluate some
alternatives. Put everything you come up with into your chess program/database (you
are using some kind of a database, right?).

After you've gone over the game "by hand" (this should take at least half an hour
for a slow game, even more time if it was a complicated position), now it's time to
use a chess engine. Go through all of the moves and take note of where the engine
says that you either made a poor move or missed an opportunity for a better move.
Again, add variations to your database. If it's not clear why something that the
engine suggests is good, investigate it further. Try out some lines and see what
the engine says.

At this point, you have an awful lot of moves in front of you. Now it's time to try
to take away some lessons from the game. Go back through the game again and decide
what specific thing you could have done better. Did you make a very poor positional
move? Did you blunder material? Did you neglect development? Did you put a piece on
a bad square? Asking questions like this will help you in future games during the
game.

The last thing that you can do is to ask a stronger player for help. Bring all of
the information you have to the stronger player and then go through the game once
more. The stronger player can give you suggestions for how to think in certain
positions. Basically, a chess engine can tell you what the right move is, but a
stronger player is often needed to tell you why a move is correct.

You should try to develop your own analysis style as well. If you are a strong
tactical player, try to go through the game without making moves on the board, just
analyze in your head. If you are good at endgames, switch colors and analyze where
your opponent went astray in the endgame. Hopefully analyzing games is fun and not
a chore!

Additional thoughts

I didn't mention studying the opening moves because that is less important than
finding the specific points in the game where you made a mistake. After you have
looked at the game as a whole, studying the opening can often help you as well. The
best way to do this is to look for grandmaster games in the same opening that was
played. Find out what moves are commonly played, and then go through some games of
stronger players in order to find good, general plans for the opening. Try to see
where you varied from these plans and determine why you didn't do what the stronger
player did. This is much more important than memorizing moves (although you will
probably find that you've memorized many variations just as a matter of course!).

continuous development of chess mastery"
