Practice chess online how to#
So, what are some of the best ways to study chess online? In my recent book How to Study Chess on Your Own, I have provided a more specific overview of online study/training features on popular chess websites, as well as some recommendations as to how to use these resources. This is particularly convenient in the current times of restricted movement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote training – The internet allows us to set up sparring, coaching or analysis sessions with other chess players on various online chess platforms.Learning technologies – Many chess websites offer learning technologies, such as tactics trainers, move trainers, or drill practices, that can improve one’s learning efficiency.Compare that to the old times when one had to wait for months to get their chess magazine in the mail in order to obtain the newest chess information. Real-time action – You can live at the South Pole, in Alaska, or Timbuktu, but a good internet connection is all you need to follow live tournament broadcasts, listen to top-player commentaries and interviews, or play hours of online blitz.If we take a more general perspective, video media has helped popularize chess among a much broader audience and rebrand it from a scholarly, even “geeky” activity into a cool hobby that develops our brains. Whether we talk about video courses, online workshops and lectures, chess streams, or youtube chess videos, audiovisual presentation of chess content allows for a richer learning experience. Video media – As great as chess books are, one cannot deny positive aspects of using online video resources in our chess training.Ease of access – Many excellent chess resources are virtually one click away, which can save time and speed up our learning.The chess purists will hate to admit it, but online resources do provide a number of advantages that can facilitate and enrich our chess training, including (but not limited to): While the traditional way of chess study, practiced by the chess greats mentioned above and then some, has many benefits, thinking that it is the only right way to study chess seems a bit dogmatic in this day and age. Have you ever thought how much stronger Capablanca, Tal or Fischer would have been if they had the online study and training resources that an average chess player has today? Or would they?Įven in today’s digital age, some people are skeptical about the value of studying chess online and instead prefer the good old board and pieces study approach.
