The Method: A Practical Guide to Chess Improvement

Most chess advice tells you what to study. This is about how to study.
I wrote The Method because I had to build these training habits myself – through three very different periods where I was in crisis, I was suffering and my chess stagnated.
This guide distills those lessons into three protocols you can follow.

What you get:

  • The Method (game study protocol): how to sit in the master’s chair and build intuition move by move.
  • Puzzle protocol: how to calculate honestly until positions become “alive” in your head – no guessing, no timer.
  • Online play protocol: how to use online chess as training without training bad habits.
  • Bonus: PGN database of my commented games from the last three World Championship matches, two of which I visited and in one of which I was on the stage with the players.

Who it’s for:
If you’re a club player or serious improver who wants clearer decision-making, stronger calculation, and a training approach you can actually execute with limited time, this is for you.

What it is not:
This is not an opening repertoire or a collection of random tips. It’s a training system.

If you’ve followed my work, you know the tone: practical, precise, and focused on what works over the board.
That’s what this is.
