Playing without a concurrent critical review of one's skills will simply get you nowhere.

Only play into a variation in which your opponent is strong if you have your own personal novelty ready!

One of the objectives of opening play is to try to surprise your opponent.

Even when the time control has been reached, there is one situation where you want to act as if it has not: when your position is absolutely lost.

Your practical results will improve when you play what you know, like and have confidence in.

The key to ultimate succcess is the determination to progress day by day.

Once you are in the endgame, the moment of truth has arrived... The amount of points that can be gained (and saved) by correct endgame play is enormous, yet often underestimated.
