Empty Your Cup
In general knowledge: when we start
playing chess in our early years we develop
a sense of game play.
Learning to systematically play the game
and how to analyze it.
We can’t learn something new if we already
know the answer.

3. Lesson 2
Finding that system
- In any game whether it be card game ,
board game or internet game. The first
thing we do is try to find a system that
would work for us in learning and playing
the game.


-
Don’t invent the wheel
Use the internet to try and find the opening
that you like and vice-versa its counter.
Play actual games versus people you know
are stronger than you.

5. Lesson 4

-
Don’t learn everything in 1 night
After finding the system that works for you
– practice using it
After finding that opening that you love –
learn it , use it in an actual game and study
it even more to find that counter.
Chess has infinite possibilities

Got this from the late Steve Jobs.
When learning new things and exploring
possibilities the rush is unexplainable 

7. Lesson 6
ICHIBAN – being number 1!! How good to
you want to be?

your current state? If yes then good, if
needs improvement then study more.
Almost all of the information you need is in
the internet. Just a matter of clicking 
