Given the changes in
the chess world over the last few years I feel that we badly need an update of how to prepare and out-prepare your opponent during a chess tournament.
The pandemic giving rise to vastly underrated junior and amateur players.
Online chess taking a much more prominent role. Accusations of cheating making
the headlines. Social media being used as a tool to educate the chess masses.
All these have lead to a different landscape, but some things stay the same.
The player who is willing to analyse and work on chess harder than the rest
will still separate his or herself from their peers. In my view, at least 90
percent of success in tournament play will come down to how good your
calculation and analysis is. Because that is the bread and butter of tournament
play. This is what I will try to get across in this book, that a chess player
will often stand or fall on the quality of analysis and I will discuss the positive
and negative role that working with computers has on a players overall
strength. I will also try to explain why my chess fell into a torpor because of
an over reliance on computers and how I have recently come to realize that
technical deficiencies have often held me back from reaching the higher echelons
of the game. And in doing so, and looking at the chess world and trying to
explain it from my point of view while following my own progress and that of
others I will try to put together a tournament battle plan
