Play online chess |  Subject: How much time a day ...
Message:
Do YOU spend on chess? I thought it would be interesting to see not only how much time people here at GK spend playing chess .. but HOW they spend their time.
Openings, tactics, endgame study, strategy, actually playing games, reviewing games etc. You don't have to be a higher rated player to post, but I would especially like suggestions from some of the higher rated (1800+) players. Thanks!

2011 Tal Memorial — I am reporting from the 2011 Tal Memorial, held Nov. 16-26 in Moscow. I am also 10 hours later than my St. Louis readers, so that means I am reporting from the future! The Tal Memorial is named after Mikhail Tal, the eighth World Chess Champion and a Soviet chess legend. This prestigious event features 10 chess players, all grandmasters, in a round-robin format, and this field is quite possibly the strongest of any chess tournament, ever. The players in the event, and their rating/world rank according to FIDE, the World Chess Federation, are as follows: Magnus Carlsen: 2826 (1), Viswanathan Anand: 2811 (2), Levon Aronian: 2802 (3), Vladimir Kramnik: 2800 (4), Vassily Ivanchuk ...

I am spending two hours a day studying from the book "Training For The Tournament Player" by Mark Dvoretsky and Artur Yusupov. In fact, I spend a lot more time studying than I do playing, some days I don't even play at all !!
Kind regards,

Armenia's killer chess move — Bravo to the former Soviet republic for putting chess on the curriculum. But beware – this game is more compelling than life. I have diverted myself briefly from playing online chess to write this. I've been keeping a log of the games I've played this week, and they number more than 60. At some point in the last five years, mainly thanks to the fact that chess and the internet are made for each other, I became a chess obsessive. Those 64 squares in which a life-and-death battle are waged have become the cornerstone of my existence. In this, I like to think I am in good company. "Chess is my world," said the former Soviet world chess champion Mikhail Tal. "Not a house, not a fortress where I hide myself from life's hardship, but ...

this is my day- school- get on GK play a little, then I eat lunch finnish school. Then I just pick a few games ( out of chess life or alekhine's book of games- or whatever and perfereably annotated) I go over mabye 3-4 a day, then later on, probably after practice I will study books on openings( 1/2hr at most) middle games ( 1 hr or more) and endgames( 15 min at most) I don't have that much to do because I am homeschooled, so I like to spend as much time as I can on chess

Armenia makes chess compulsory in schools — Authorities say teaching pastime to primary school children is about building character, not breeding future chess champions. Tiny Armenia is a big player in world chess, and a new gambit could make it even bigger: mandatory chess in school. The former Soviet nation has made the game part of the primary school curriculum along with such standards as maths and history for children between the ages of seven and nine. Chess is a national obsession in this country of 3 million people tucked away in a corner between Turkey and Iran. The passion was fostered in modern times by the exploits of chess champion Tigran Petrosian, who won the world chess championship in 1963 and successfully defended his title three years ...

On Chess: Underdog Israelia threat to Anand — Boris Gelfand, an Israeli chess grandmaster born in the former Soviet republic of Belarus, has had a singular career. In 21 years of tournament play, excelling at both traditional and rapid chess, he has won, finished second or tied for second in 43 of 52 tournaments. Yet he hasn’t been able to gain the title of world chess champion. Seeming to improve with age, Gelfand achieved his best result in 2007 when he tied for second with the then-reigning world chess champion, Vladimir Kramnik. The world title tournament was won by Viswanathan Anand, who remains world chess champion. In the spring, Gelfand will square off with Anand in a match for the title. Gelfand stands in sharp contrast to his ...
