Chess training method

This training method is my personal way of learning chess or simply the training I use just a week or two before playing a chess tournament. It is a self learning method. Whether you believe it or not it works wonder for me like beating players far above my current rating(1934) ie 2100 above.

Though it may require certain skills or knowledge about chess to make this method effective, it is most effective for players above 1800 fide rating.

Method of training :
1. Solve 5 puzzles from Anthology of chess combinations.
2. Study Dvoretsky's endgame manual.
3. Learn one line/variation for your opening repertoire.

That is it. Two books only plus a computer for opening lines. Its takes about two hours only depending on how much time I took to solve the combinations. This method would definitely make a player cross elo 2200 within 2 years. When I was experimenting different ways of learning chess, nothing beats this method.

There is another way that I use for training....it will be the topic for next post!!
