One key to playing better chess!


One huge key to playing better chess is playing against stronger opponents. Sure, you will get beat up but that's the best way to improve. Playing against weaker opponents will only improve your ego.

When I play online chess at ICC, I hang out in the random pools, 3 0, 5 0, and 15 0 where you are guaranteed to face titled opponents. I know it's a bit scary but it's the best way to improve. If you're like me, you will probably destroy the odd mouse as you sweat your way through the games.

And getting a titled scalp feels great! See my game below.
