How to make your chess training effective

<Comment deleted by user>

Really insightful article. I am also curious what constitutes training from studying, as it seems there might be overlap sometimes, like when solving a puzzle set over and over again feels more like training than studying. You can look at a Karpov game, but training might involve more playing. Like playing certain mid games or endgames against an engine or human or even playing some rapid games to test out new openings.

I’m excited to see the next article on specific training examples!

One thing I've wanted for a long time is a tutorial on how to use lichess to improve.

Puzzles
Practice the learning course lichess has
Analyze games
request game analysis and play through mistakes
lichess breaks down your weak points and some metrics I don't fully understand

I am a cuber, averaging around 20 seconds, and I have once seen this in a cubing context too (practicing vs. learning algorithms) and the practicing part should at least be a bit more than the learning part. Great to also see it rephrased here.

As an example, I have just improved by over 2 seconds on average without really learning any new techniques or algorithms, but just practice, in a pretty short time span. Shows how effective it can be, also in the next few days or weeks instead of months or years.

Any Cubing resources. I learned to solve it recently but it takes me some time. Would like to be sub 1 minute.

We are all interested in it!!!!!

Thanks for the article. This is in line with my thinking. The distinction between skill and knowledge is an important one. I am looking forward to your future posts about the training methods.
