If you’re a beginner or someone stuck at a rating plateau and unsure how to improve, this training method might help. The tricky part is staying committed and following through. Start by playing unrated, untimed games, preferably against a bot, for one or two weeks, one game per day. Bots are ideal for this type of practice. Annotate every move you make, writing down your thoughts. This trains your brain to truly “think chess.” It’s challenging, time-consuming, and mentally exhausting, but remember, it’s training, and training is tough. Stay disciplined, move by move, noting what you see on the board, your ideas for the next move, and any threats. From your very first move, record the opening you plan to play just write down everything. After a week or two, mistakes and blunders will decrease, tactics will come more naturally, and positions will feel clearer. You’ll manage time better, and the habit will start to feel automatic. Soon, you won’t need to write it all down, your brain will process it internally. That’s the plan: stick with it for a week or more, playing one game each day.
