Let me ask you a question. How did you get to the chess level where you are right now? Even though it may seem like a generic question at first, I promise it has practical value. At the very beginning, you probably heard about chess and learnt the basic rules form some Internet resource or book, or maybe somebody like your dad or a coach taught this to you. This thing is relatively easy because the entire chess rules (we’re talking about the arrangement of pieces, how they move, the relative values of pieces, etc.) are a very simple thing. What is the next step? You’ve got to know how to actually start your game. You’ve got to learn some basic openings. That is why that was probably the next thing that you did; you studied from basic openings. Next, how about the middlegame? The common knowledge that you and other chess players at the club level share is that chess middlegame mainly implies that you’ve got to master strategic principles and a couple of tactical principles. Now, once the middlegame strategy and tactics is mastered to some extent, then you probably came to study the endgame. When it comes to an endgame, you probably studied some basic checkmate positions; for example, when you’re having certain significant material advantage such as the queen versus a lonely king. After learning all these, most chess players often start to be stuck and they’re unsure of how to progress further despite of the efforts they’re putting to it. Why is that so? And most importantly, how to progress in chess? Watch the video lesson now
