How to improve in #chess by analyzing your own games:
1) Identify critical moments 📝
2) Use DB of Master games but no engine yet! 📚
3) Go over the game with a stronger player who will point out things you missed 🎯
4) Only now you can use the engine for the final pass 🐟

3.h4 vs my Hyper-Accelerated Dragon has been quite annoying for me and my students. So, I decided to refute it! Guess the antidote? 3...h5! White has no attack and Black has a more flexible structure, video coming up on my website https://t.co/2P5WhjbTPy 🐉🐉🐉

White to play and win! 🏹💥👑

Everyone knows two pawns on 6th rank are better than the rook, but did you know that two pawns on 7th rank are better than the queen? 💪💪👑

Will @MagnusCarlsen break 2900 in the next 5 years? 👑💪🤔

Take 30 day #ChessChallenge! 💪
I’m recruiting two players about the same strength. You have one hour a day to study chess.
First player only solves Tactics 🧩
Second player only studies Openings (or chess books) 📚
After one month we check who improved the most! 🚀

[Eugene Perelshteyn @EugenePerel]

All #chess openings are not created equal. For example: Grunfeld is great for 2700+ but not good for club players. The main reason is that there’s no clear main line these days and you have to be ready for at least 5 White setups! 💡📚🤔

[Eugene Perelshteyn @EugenePerel]

Tari played my opening today, Grand Prix Attack. But Qh4 a bit early. As you guys know from my White book @ExplainChess, it's a good idea to make a few waiting moves first, like Bd2,h3 and then play this attack once 0-0 happens. This is your dream position: 🔥💥📈

[Eugene Perelshteyn @EugenePerel]

The anatomy of a blunder in #chess:
1) Excited about the idea 💡
2) Noticing a small problem 🧩
3) Trying to make it work 🔨
4) A quick look at clock 🕰
5) No time....Panic...play something else...and lose on the spot 🙈

How many have experienced this? ☝️

[Eugene Perelshteyn @EugenePerel]

One of the coaches of the Soviet chess school told me: “The real strength of the player is determined not by whom he has beaten in the past but by whom he can never lose to!” 🤔 #chesswisdom

What bad habits does one pick up in online #blitzchess?
1) Moving without thinking 🤔
2) Prophylaxis ignored 🙈
3) Impulsive decisions 🚀
4) Playing for tricks 👻
5) Getting away with bad openings ♟

[Eugene Perelshteyn @EugenePerel]

Black to play and find the only non-losing move! 🔥
GM Kudrin found it! 💪
(Hint: This is very hard. Take out your set, put away cell phone, and give yourself 20min 🧐)

I'm happy to announce my pick for the #UltimateSensei competition! Welcome @hashtagchess to my dojo! 🥋
Among many things I will teach you is how to tame your dragons! 🐉

[Eugene Perelshteyn @EugenePerel]

I just hope my students won't make the same mistake as MVL and two dozen 2400+ players as White with last move 0-0-0 in this French line... Who can explain why? 🥊🥊🥊

Modern treatment of the Najdorf opening in #chess is always surprising! White has tried 6.Rg1 (recent Nepo-@MagnusCarlsen) 6.Nb3 (Bartel) but 6.h4 scores the best! 🏹
Who can figure out the idea?
@ginger_gm would be proud of Henry the h-pawn!

[Eugene Perelshteyn @EugenePerel]

Can you solve this positional puzzle? White to move! 💥👑🧐
Bonus: Can you name the players?

[Eugene Perelshteyn @EugenePerel]

I see a lot of ppl are into memorizing #chess openings these days, but what about the ideas behind the moves? 💡
As Bobby Fischer used to say during game analysis, when you suggest a move you want to have an idea behind it. 👑

White to play and win! (Hint: be brave! 💪🔥💪)
