If one thing will make a difference to your chess game, it’s practice. Here’s why…

Planning

In chess, you need to think several moves ahead and anticipate what your opponent will do. The more you practice, the better you’ll be at considering the possibilities on the board and devising strategies to win.

Memory

This is such a vital element in your gameplay, alongside concentration. Both can only be improved with regular practice.

Tactics

Practice enables you to start identifying play patterns and tactical opportunities that you can exploit to stay one step ahead.

Decisions

In a game, these are always made under pressure, so the more you practice, the better you become at making quick and sound decisions on the fly.

Like all sports, practice can make a real difference in how well you play. The best place to practice chess is at your local club, where you can compete against competitors of a similar level and be taught by an experienced teacher.
