I am 24 years old and playing chess since i was 6. Because there were lack of chess books in my country i never studied chess till i began university. I improved myself on tactics and endgames a bit and eventually got 1850NR on OTB and 2000-2100 on internet blitz games.
Now i want to study positional chess and i want to make it intensively (Since i want to improve 2000 level as soon as possible) I am not a complete disaster at positional chess but i feel now the time has come for a serious, systematic study of this phase.
Can you recommend me a starting book for it and a continuation plan, which books, how much time and with which methods i should study.
I acquired watsons modern chess strategy series, nimzowitsch's my system, aagard's excelling at positional chess, sergiu samarian systematic training and kotov's think, play, train like gm books. But only peeked at yet. I can gather any additional book if strongly recommended, and i dont like video, internet type of training. Also disliked my system because of finding it a bit vague, chatty, discrete (abstract).
Can any experienced player (not time-wise but mastery-wise) give a good training plan ?
secrets of modern chess strategy and dynamic pawn play in chess are essentials
I liked Drazen Marovic's Secrets of positional chess coverage of weaknesses, and found a few good books about pawn structure. I made a few categories, and divided the material i found into these categories. (I dont know if i did my training plan right but anyway i had to take a step into)
But i couldnt find an intense treatment about color complexes. Do you know any book about color complexes (preferable at advanced level and has some volume)
there is a book, or maybe a video from chessbase that is focused on color complexes i forget the author i can think about it though. i never explicitly focused on color complexes i think i just built the intuition from looking at a lot of games.
when i was your strength i was mostly analyzing the kasparov former world champion series, looking through games in the openings i wanted to play to build familiarity with the middlegames, reading the books i mentioned and balancing it out with a lot of healthy endgame study. back then i was using fundamental chess endings.
i don't think there necessarily is a right training plan just make sure you are focusing on all the parts of your game and if you put the time in it will pay off.
drunknknite, i am actually focussing on calculation right moment, doing some visualiton exercises, simple mate studies (not tactics, i mean studies which require different skill sets (i know a 2 mover study challenged me like 15 minutes, they may require visualization, imagination, they might have counter intuitive moves, usual patterns might not help you much(of course there are patterns still help)), blindfold blitz or even bullet matches against weak chessmaster personalities CM1700-1800 (probably they equal to 1200-1300 OTB)
And i set my training method as following, setting critical board diagram in book by moving fast first moves. Then using a chronometer doing analysis of position for some minutes (15 to 30) when i feel enough, i am looking variations and comments book present. And playing through some variations i wonder. ( I know it would be better if i go on making analyses but i have less energy and interest at this stage so making my work some easier)
I am studying both analysis, calculation, (and of course some tactics), testing myself, learning some positional concepts. And i noticed i even remembering lines, moves etc even in the parts i skipped fast.
Of course it could be much efficient, analyses can be more quality, i can prepare a question list, i can analysis plans for side, more positions and endgame can be analyzed, analyses can be framed in more strict time-frames similar to i have in real games etc. But i have limitations in concentration, stamina, energy, habits, experience and knowledge. İf i keep up the pace for few months (or even weeks) then i can optimise it little more.
By the way, about the openings some fun things can be experimented.
-after determining the hardest level you can beat at your own engine only in strongest opening
-you can open your database and/or opening books, looking the games and knowledge given by book, determine some plans, squares where the pieces are belong to etc in some ALIEN positions to you
- in final step you play some 10-15min games in these positions against the level you determined.
It will be much harder to play, but more fun and challenging. It feels more chess than mimicing your habits.
Actually i had the idea from my own development, after playing unrated for 5-6 years i had around 1600 rating when i was 12 and it doesn't improve for ten years. Then i tried something different lie, constantly changing the position i play, my style etc. I tried to play more riskier, then more dull than ever, exchanged down to the lastest of pieces, than i played the most chaotic positions, i have made unsound king attack sacrifices (intentional, and won some of them because of opponents psycology) , positional sacrifices, even a sacrificed a knight on pawn just to exchange everything (it was still early opening phase, where i had development advantage, while my oppenent played very passive but with no weaknesses) and getting a protected passed pawn. (Funny thing R+R+B+N+pawns vs R+R+B+B+N+ with a pawn less position went out winning eventhough my opponent had bishop pair(lack of coordination of his pieces earned me another pawn, and he had to sacrifice his extra bishop to one of my advanced pawns, when he equalized the position i had a healthy extra pawn). I accepted deadly sacrifies and tried to defend till my last blood. I changed my style nearly every three month.
And the result, same amounts of playing, solving same amount of tactics puzzles, studying even less endgames but experiencing lots of different positions, styles, techniques,psycologies. I suddenly found myself 250-300 points higher. In 10 years i went up from 1570 to 1610 and in 3 years 1870.
Moral of the last part, is there are unique problems and unique solutions in personal development.
You might consider Chess Strategy for Club Players..
If you really wanted to get good at positional play you should get a diamond membership and watch Melikset Khachiyan videos, and also Danny Rensch's Pawn Structure series.
But otherwise I'd strongly suggest Pawn Structure Chess by Andy Soltis, and My System by Aaron Nimzovitch. The beginning is less interesting than the end in My System but it's important also.
I would spend more time figuring out how to make better use of what you already KNOW and less time filling your head full of stuff that won't help you play better immediately...
Chess history is full of players that regularly beat other players who have years and years more of accumulated knowledge. Just look at the young players that beat the heck out of there choaches etc.
Start reading Dvoretsky and Yusupov's School of Chess Excellence.
Well, I don't know how much you know, so it's hard to say. I'd suggest Pachman's Modern Chess Strategy as a good primer / to fill any holes you might have in your understanding.
Watson's Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy is more of a history of strategy and why Watson feels certain rules dont apply in certain positions. It's more of an icing on the cake book IMO. And although it gets high praise, I ended up trading it away and was told he borrowed a lot from Sthol's Modern Chess Masterpieces book (which is a great book, but not focused on strategy ;)
Dvoretsky's books are similarly not what you're looking for I believe, as they assume you already have a more than mean grasp of all chess fundamentals. Written for masters (2200), though I've heard experts (2000) can get some use out of the books if they spend a lot of time and effort.
I don't believe there are any books aimed at 1800 that systematically adress each area of strategic importance. Stean's book (Simple Chess) is good, but aimed a bit below 1800. It's also a somewhat short book (good but short) and doesn't cover all the topics (never mentions color complexes that I remember, although I just skimmed it).
Silman's How to Reassess Your Chess is useful up through Class A, and the aurthor gives a very systematic approach and looks at many strategic ideas taken from master games.
But if that book doesn't sound good, I'd go with Pachman's book to fill any holes, and buy / use online to look into some game collections of a player like Capa, Karpov, Kramnik, Carlsen (or any very strong player really) who are known for their strategic play and use what you've learned from Pachman to try and work those games apart on your own.
Hmm, at first skeptical of a 14 year old's book (Not that he coudln't teach me a thing or two about chess). But the reviews are very positive, and I hadn't heard of this book before. Thx for mentioning it, I might consider getting it one day.
When you used the, 'words counter intuitive moves', it let me know that you have the beginnings of a deep understanding of chess. There is an overriding principle in chess:
Winning chess is the strategically and tactically correct advance of the pawn mass.
There is a book titled "Pawn Power In Chess", by Hans Kmoch. It gave me a much deeper understanding of chess than any other book.
Pawn Structure by Soltis is being reprinted, get either version
Art of the Middle Game [Particularly on defending difficult positions chapter]
Judgement and Planning in Chess by Euwe
Art of Defense by Solits
Kmoch's book also.
The best way I have found is to study annotated master games, as recommended by a few GMs, is to take 30 mins for each game and play it over 3x.
1) Just play through the game, see what happens, don't think too hard on any move.
Take a short break, grab a drink, clear your mind for a minute.
2) go over the game again more slowly, focusing on the moves you don't understand at all. See if the annotations point out obvious things you may have missed like a 2/3-mover tactic like a pin, deflection. Underline any moves that completely mystify you.
3) Finally, go over the game for the last time, looking at the more subtle differences you missed before, such as why did White GM play Nc5 instead of Ne5, or exchange in the center now but not before - things you may have noticed but did not fully comprehend. Figure out, using the annotatins, why those mystifying moves were played - maybe pull the position up on the PC if a non-obvious move was played with no explanation.
A longer method of studying games is to cover one side's moves and try to guess what the response will be to the other's side, move by move. Take like 1.5-2hrs to do this. It is hard work [and slightly discouraging at first] but if you keep it up you will find you can guess more and more GM moves.
Visualization exercises help, even just thinking 2-3 moves ahead in every tactically difficult position you see - whether analyzed or not - figure out the best move and what happens if each piece/pawn that's engaged exchanges, attacks, is sacrificed to open lines, exchange sacrifice, add to the tension, retreats, zwichenzugs, etc.
a lot of positional play is just understanding whats important in a position and whats not. to that end a basic book is really good I liked Morovics books because they are approachable and dont seem to contrived. Aagaard books are also good. Chess strategy for a club player by grooten is great and provides a process to break down a position in static terms that you can apply almost immediately. I would also recommend looking at annotated books of games. The recent Gulko book is exceptional in this regard. a top 10 player at one time maybe even top 5 talks about how he chooses moves in a game. Its a positional goldmine

Flower Bulbs
Gardening at its most simple and elegant.
We get a lot of questions about flower bulbs, but most involve when to plant them. Quite simply, "fall" flower bulbs are planted in the fall, grow roots into winter, then sprout and bloom in the spring. These include favorites such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinth and others. "Spring" flower bulbs are also known as tender bulbs (they don't survive cold ground temperatures); they're planted in the spring and flower throughout the summer. They include dahlias, glads, cannas, calla lilies and others. You can view these products by their planting seasons — Fall Planted Bulbs or Spring Planted Bulbs — or simply use the filters on the left to help you choose.

So powerfulPros: 1.) Great sound quality Cons: None that I've found. Other Thoughts: I got these because I wanted a better audio experience. I will by Sennheiser again. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Big headphones. Big soundPros: comfy, sits around the ears so it doesn't push on anything, had them running for a few hours and it didn't get sweaty under there or anything. Even when there is no sound, it did a good job of drowning out ambient sounds(all done passively). I never raised the volume past 30% so I can imagine how loud these headphones can get. Cons: none - would have been nice to have a microphone connection and active noise cancelation, but those are just unnecessary wants. Other Thoughts: little expensive, but worth it Did you find this review helpful? |
Amazing sound!Pros: Love these headphones, they sound amazing with any type of music. Also have great sound while in games. Can hear movement from far away, even at a low volume you can hear sound very well due to the noise cancelations. Cons: Are pretty bulky not so great for travel. Other Thoughts: Highly recommended! Did you find this review helpful? |
Great buyPros: Very flat response, comfortable, light, replaceable parts Cons: If you don't have the right shape head, they might hurt your ears Other Thoughts: These are awesome quality and by far the nicest headphones I've ever owned. One note is that they'll sound terrible right out of the box. I gave them 24 hours playing at almost full blast before putting them on my head and listening, and wow they sound great. The break-in is quick compared to some of the other cans I've read reviews on. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Excellent headphonesPros: Very good headphones for the money. clear crisp sound with good bass response. If you are not hearing what you think you should,,then you probably need a new sound card or your deaf or both. Cons: No adjustable volume control on the cord. Not really needed but it would be nice. Did you find this review helpful? |
great sound and passive noise reductionPros: better sound than the Bose noise cancelling headphones they replaced. Fuller sound and actually reduces 80-90% of the sound that the Bose did without using any active noise cancelling circuitry. Cons: if you have a larger head and you game for a LONG time (4-5 hours) they can get a little tight but they do not cause your head/ears to sweat like others do. Other Thoughts: Great overall headphones for all uses and suitable for music and gaming 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Love ThesePros: I use these very heavily, and even though they are meant for a studio, I take them with me everywhere. They are very durable, and they sound amazing. It took a while for them to be broken in, but after that, they were perfect. Highly recommended! Cons: I have large ears, so they can get a little uncomfortable after a while. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
3.5 yrs, going strongPros: Incredibly durable. Cons: None. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Happy with this purchasePros: Nice Sound, Comfortable, Cable length is nice Cons: None yet! Other Thoughts: Great price point and quality on these headphones - that was never in doubt. I did read a few reviews about the comfort level being not so good, but I gotta say, I find these awesome to wear to the point where it doesn't even feel like they're on sometimes. Great unit, highly recommended. Just as advertised. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great HeadphonesPros: Excellent sound cancelling. Cons: Nothing really. They are a bit bulky, but if you want slender, why are you buying these? Other Thoughts: Solid buy. I am quite satisfied Did you find this review helpful? |

Preview: Tigers at White Sox
Max Scherzer hasn't been asked to pitch following a Detroit Tigers' loss during the second half of the season, but he'l l get his first chance to do so on Monday as he starts the opener of a three-game road set against the Chicago White Sox. The Tigers lost two of three to Kansas City and have dropped four of five overall - a stretch that began Tuesday against Boston as Scherzer was denied his 20th win. However, the first-time All-Star is 8-0 this season when Detroit is coming off a loss.
The Tigers' slide has reduced their lead over Cleveland in the American League Central to 5 1/2 games, but they could catch a break against the last-place White Sox. Chicago snapped a nine-game slide with Sunday's 4-2 win over Baltimore but has dropped seven of its last 10 versus Detroit. Adam Dunn homered in the victory as the White Sox (57-85) also avoided falling 30 games under .500 for the first time since 1976.
TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, FSN (Detroit), CSN (Chicago)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Max Scherzer (19-2, 2.88 ERA) vs. White Sox LH Chris Sale (10-12, 2.97)
Scherzer fell short in his attempt to become the second pitcher in major-league history to open 20-1 despite allowing only two runs on five hits over seven frames at Boston. The loss marked only the third time this season the St. Louis native has failed to collect at least one win over a two-start stretch. Scherzer has dominated Chicago this season, going 2-0 with a 1.66 ERA while holding the White Sox to a .151 average in three starts.
Staked to a 4-1 lead when he left after 7 1/3 innings, Sale settled for a no-decision when his bullpen imploded during a five-run eighth in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the New York Yankees. The 13th overall pick of the 2010 draft was charged with three runs (two earned) but has posted 68 strikeouts in nine outings since the All-Star break - the second-highest total in the AL. Sale recorded his fourth complete game of the season in a 6-2 win on Aug. 12 in his last outing against Detroit.
1. Scherzer outdueled Sale in their only head-to-head meeting of the season on July 22 for his 14th victory - a start that ignited a personal six-game winning streak that ended Tuesday.
2. Sale needs one strikeout to join Wilbur Wood and Gary Peters as the only left-handers in team history to record at least 200 in a single season.
3. Victor Martinez is 8-for-11 against Sale this season and has 20 career homers versus the White Sox - his highest total against any opponent.
PREDICTION: Tigers 3, White Sox 2

Review: Thumbs-Up On Oracle Database Appliance
8:30 AM EST Mon. Nov. 28, 2011If you thought the past 10 years had brought forth an explosion of data -- particularly when it comes to SMBs -- just wait for the next 10. With mobile devices becoming incredibly powerful data collection devices, and with social media, new use patterns and more powerful processing, database technologies would appear to face a ton of challenges.
Enter the Oracle Database Appliance. With the combination of a powerful, Linux-based, Intel Xeon-based Sun server and Oracle database software, the system provides redundancy and massive processing power in a 4U rack-mountable box.
What that configuration does provide in a $50,000 box is much more processing power and computing capability than even high-end mainframes less than a decade old. The servers support installation of Oracle Database 11g, Enterprise Edition. (The default has the software downloadable onto the server once it is shipped and set up into a rack, although it can also be preinstalled and ready for on-site configuration.)
With, essentially, two servers in one box (with redundant power and networking), the Oracle Database Appliance supports Oracle Real Application Clusters or Oracle RAC One Node, depending on the organization's fai-lover choice. Aimed at SMBs, VARs will play a critical role in configuration (as well as the heavy lifting, as it weighs more than 160 pounds).
Beyond the list price, Oracle has established a "pay-as-you-grow" model for enterprises that require additional performance as their databases and requirements grow. The Test Center likes this appliance for that, for the performance and for the strong security offered by the underlying Oracle Linux in the box. It's more than a solid offering for the SMB space; it's potentially a game-changer as data and security needs race to keep up with the oncoming generations of technology. Read our full review online.

Product Reviews
Modern Slat Toilet / Tissue Paper Holder from the Mainz Series
Looks great in bathroom remodel
I completely redid my old, tired bathroom. This Schon tissue holder goes perfectly with the style of the bathroom and looks great. Not having to fool with a roller and spring is a plus for me with arthritic hands. It looks terrific, works well and I am very happy with it.

Great Match with previous purchase
I was looking for items that would complement the contemporary Price Pfister faucets; sink and shower; that I had purchased previously for my bathroom from Faucet Direct. I found it in this item! I also purchased the slat towel ring to match. I am so pleased with the finished look that all the items gave to my new remodeled bath.

On SR 92, there were eight run-off-the-road collisions in nine years on just a half-mile stretch of the highway.

will present:
"Exploring the hidden landscapes of Pennsylvania using LiDAR data"
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an optical remote sensing technology used for measuring distances that is quickly changing how scientists view and map the surface of the earth. Within the field of GIS (geographic information systems), LiDAR is gaining popularity for use in many applications such as terrain modeling, geomorphology, hydrology, landscape ecology, and urban planning, just to name a few. Starting in 2006, Pennsylvania undertook a program to collect and process high resolution LiDAR elevation data for the entire state, becoming one of the first states in the nation to do so. This talk will explore just some of the few ways that this technology is transforming our view and understanding of the Pennsylvania landscape.

Power of Flowers
with Isha Lerner
The following excerpt is from Isha Lerner�s book: Power of Flowers.
�It is good to know our universe. What is new is only new to us.� ~ Pearl S. Buck
Through the ages, shamans, priests and priestesses, medicine women and men, herbal alchemists, botanists and holy people from all walks of life have sought a clearer understanding of the natural world around them. They have listened reverently to the voice of Nature approaching Her as one approaches a beloved consort. In turn, through Her trees, flowers, seeds, leaves, fruits, and berries She has offered the knowledge of healing and sustainability, revealing Herself fully only to those who will listen with heart and soul.
Our medicines of today have evolved from the study of herbology, botany, and biology. The healing properties of herbs have been identified through the centuries by studying their growth cycles, appearance, location, color, and movement. Homeopathy is yet another way in which plants are employed as healers. We learn through homeopathy that like cures like, and nature overcomes nature. Human beings are readily cured, soothed, and enlightened by . . . .
Bloom of the Day
Tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. - George Carlin

Margaret Glasford hosted her 15th annual Christmas party just prior to the holiday season. "It's a fun family tradition," Glasford said. "Everyone either bakes their cookies at home and brings them to share, or they bake cookies at the party." Sugar cookies are the favorite, so the group baked and decorated over 200 of them. This year, many of the sugar cookies were baked ahead of time, she said, "so the little ones could start decorating as soon as they arrived at the party."
According to a news release, The Spencer County Sheriff's Department will be conducting periodic traffic safety checkpoints over the New Year's holiday at locations approved by the sheriff's department policy and procedures manual. Special traffic enforcement and saturation patrols will also be dispatched to high collision areas.
Taylorsville resident Kathy S. Shingleton Jamison recently had a poem entitled, "Shining Star" published in Eber and Wein's 2011 "From a Window: Sights Unseen" contest series.
Jamison said she has been writing all of her life and this was not the first time she's been selected for publication. Her poem, "Shining Star," highlights the story of the Christmas star, which shined above the stable where Jesus was kept in his first days. The poetry book can be purchased through Amazon.com.
