I have decided that this is the year when I finally establish a respectable pattern base to build off of in the future. After reading some of NM Dan Heisman's Novice Nooks and some of Jeremy Silman's, I came up with a basic program of study for this year. Silman states that one method of master game study is to speed through as many games as possible in order to pick up patterns subconsciously. I decided to follow through with this in the order: • tactical: Morphy, Marshall, Tal • universal: Tarrasch, Lasker, Spassky, Fischer • dynamic: Alekhine, Botvinnik, Kasparov • positional: Steinitz, Capablanca, Petrosian, Karpov I am on the bus everyday for about an hour, so I have been using for going through games at a speed of about 1 sec/move. Each game will typically take about a minute and a half or less. I downloaded free PGN files from.

According to the file lists, this amounts to about 19,490 games. A problem with this is that the files can contain quite a few games and the free version of the app only allows the first 20 games from a file to be viewed.

I went around this by writing a quick Perl script that takes a large pgn file and splits the games into multiple files at 20 games per file. I loaded all the files into separate folders (Morphy, Marshall, etc) to view with the app. It actually helps to compartmentalize the games for easier digestion. I will be viewing 60 games a day (3 files per day). In addition to this, I will be reviewing more games at a slower speed, one or two games a day at about 20-30 mins/game from: • Logical Chess: Move by Move by Irving Chernev, complete • Chess: The Art of Logical Thinking by Neil McDonald, complete • The World's Most Instructive Amateur Game Book by Dan Heisman, almost done • A First Book of Morphy by Frisco Del Rosario, shipping now • Simple Attacking Plans by Fred Wilson, shipping now I am also supplementing this with any interesting games I may come across in Chess Life or borrowed New In Chess mags.

I started taking lessons with a National Master 2-4 Sundays a month. He's great - $30 for 2 hours. So far he's gone over my games with me, shown me some of his, and some of Carlsen and Caruana. He gave me some homework - reviewing games in some magazines he lent me. Finally, I am not neglecting tactics (even though I am already seeing a ton of tactics in the games I've seen so far (approx. 800+ games since I've started). I am loosely following Dan Heisman's for acquiring the 2000+ basic tactical patterns: • Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess by Bobby Fischer and Margulies, complete • Chess Tactics for Students by John Bain, complete • Back to Basics: Tactics by Dan Heisman, complete • Winning Chess Strategy for Kids by Jeff Coakley, shipping I actually have gone through a couple other tactics books as well, namely Chess Tactics for Kids by Murray Chandler, and 303 Tactical Chess Puzzles by Fred Wilson and Bruce Albertson.
