chess openings, tactics?

[Vijay Khadake]

i am trying to play the morra gambit to the sicilian defense and i am trying to see as much info on its variations including the finegold line which no one will elaborate on. next i am also trying to develop my tactical eye to a greater extend is there any good way of training that is not easy but extremely difficult and enjoyable as well? lastly, i am trying to find a good chess coach which website would, will, does have those type of personnel available? oh yes does it help at all to play 5 minute chess as training for tournaments or would regular time control be more effective?

I have found that studying openings is not the best way to approach the game. But if you must, get a video on the opening you like. You learn the openings better with Videos than books.

Yeh i watch videos and learn from them but i was thinking about your personal tactics

For tactics, get a good tactics book. My favorite is combination challenge, by Hayes and Hall. Do a few problems every day, and in a few months you will be tactically amazing.

Go on the Internet Chess Club. (www.chessclub.com ) you can find a grandmaster there to give you lessons. The best thing to do is : find someone that is very strong, show them your mjost recent games, and they will tell you how to improve.

All the books in the world will not get you as good, as talking with a strong player.

I haven’t read a lot of books on Chess strategy but I would recommend ‘Mind Master: Winning Lessons from a Champion’s Life’ by Viswanathan Anand. It gives a good insight into the preparations and strategies of a world champion. It has motivated me a lot.
