Improving Player, Goldfish method

Hey everyone, first off I want to thank @benhunt72 for his Chess Boot Camp videos. I have watched many of them starting from oldest and working through. I started playing 30 minute games a few weeks ago but I am trying to manage homeschool and a preschooler so that wasn’t working.

Now I have found a perfect way for my situation, 5ish daily games at a time. This way it feels like game situation puzzles whenever I have the moment to slip away. I back up a few moves to refresh the gameplay in my mind. Then I have no excuse to take my time and go through the steps to limit the problems created by missing something. Where are the undefended pieces? What is my opponent working on with that move. Finding candidate moves and looking at how the board will change with each of them. It lets me find players just above my rating easily. I have played less than 100 games at the moment so I know that I just need to play enough to let me see patterns and along the way try to miss as little as possible. I test the waters with the black lion or a pawn storm that I never would’ve known about with his videos.

To sum up try a few daily games at a time if you don’t have the time to just sit down and go through a 25-50min game and the Chess Boot Camp videos have helped me so much so thank you again @benhunt72. Check out these videos to improve your chess.

Here is his first video.
