I have only tried a few Stoyko exercises because I had trouble to find suitable positions.<br /><br />The top candidate is of course to study your own lost games. <br /><br />I am a GM at overlooking the obvious!BRF Fågelsångenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303373959787978980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213137998030454353.post-4827857467039876482009-12-11T07:05:19.122+01:002009-12-11T07:05:19.122+01:00Very interesting.

I played against a computer and I was just writing down all of the canidate moves of a position, and then after writing them down, and calculating the lines, choosing the move and then after the game was finished using rybka or something to tell me what move it thought was best and comparing. I don't know if it helped, but it did allow me to get inside my thinking process and show me how little of a thinking process I have. It seemed that most of the moves werent even calculated or I just used intuition without calculation. Yikes. I will try this out though.

What I think I am going to do is for every chess game I lose (which is a lot right now) I am going to try and ascertain the "turning point" of the game. The place where I MOST went wrong and then do the Stoyko exercise with that position. I sometimes have access to a coach to help me check it but I will most likely use an engine.<br /><br />I tried it today with a recent loss and it was very educational!! I learned one very important thing: I don't consider all moves! Even with tons of time there was one option I didn't consider..! <br /><br />I think this is going to be fun and educational. Thanks again for the post.Tommyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836893561110796499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213137998030454353.post-85171376824556407482009-12-07T06:49:12.296+01:002009-12-07T06:49:12.296+01:00Calculation and visualisation are big and importan...Calculation and visualisation are big and important parts in chess.

So at the moment I am using complex tactical positions. These are taken from Pata Grapindashvili's book "Imagination in chess" and Agaards "Excelling at chess calculation".<br /><br />Tommyg,<br /><br />Using your own games to generate positions can even be more beneficial than using book positions. The only problem for me is that I do not have a coach. One would need a coach who can find the time to analyze the position deeply himself, and check your analysis and evaluations. Therefor I have chosen to use positions that are thoroughly analyzed in a book, so that I can check my analysis against that of a much better player who has given the position a good look.Phaedrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393639592979349429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213137998030454353.post-72213789278243352502009-12-05T22:14:52.047+01:002009-12-05T22:14:52.047+01:00The Stoyko thing sounds awesome!

My coach basically wanted me to do the same thing (but without writing things down and without the double checking afterwards)<br /><br />Do you think Stoyko exercises would be beneficial when done with a complicated position from one's own games where things went wrong OR should Stoykos only be done with a fresh and never before seen position?<br /><br />Thanks!Tommyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836893561110796499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213137998030454353.post-27541302619557382412009-12-05T20:25:03.378+01:002009-12-05T20:25:03.378+01:00Thanks for sharing your training program.
