Default Re: Chess: want to get better fast

You said:

"I read and reread MCO-13"

Some of the rest of your post ranged from okay to somewhat misguided but that advice is what stood out as especially poor. It's (somewhat) like telling someone to read the dictionary over and over again if they want to become a superior writer.

Although, given the poster's desire to get good ASAP, then your advice probably isn't too bad (he'll just hit a wall really quickly nad have a poor structure of chess knowledge/training to build on).

All IMHO. To become truly great at chess is too late for him anyway as he's now too old. Becoming a strong club player may be acheivable but it will require more time and effort than the getting good really quickly tone of his post.
