  Mostly 1 hour a day opening and middlegame, and play over some games from Grandmasters. but can train better i think

Zero, simply cannot be bothered. The very thought of studying this game makes my toes curl the wrong way (upwards).

I used to study chess to try to understand the game somewhat, but now I just play, watch, and guess. I never "trained". Are you looking to become a titled player, happytoplay?

Well yeah Im 14 and I have been playing chess since 11 so I really want a title I think if I set my mind to it and concentrate enough I could make GM before 25 years of age.

Im trying play every day one long 15min game, do 10mins of tactics and play throught one gm game of some opening. But my goal is not same as yours. Can I ask you how your traing look like and what is better than your last training plan Thanks

I play 1-2 standard 45 45 games, train 30 min of tactics. Quickly analyse my played games and sometimes review one GM game. I try to follow this training everyday, although sometimes I have to shorten it out so that it fits my schedule.

What's the new training schedule?

My current training is analysis of past OTB and chess.com games, opening study, and current training games.

And forum posting.

Basiclly I created my own trainig scheduals before I met Osmo. I for example I have one here Tactics 1h, Annotated games 1h, Strategic exercises 1h, Play 1h, Read books 1h Per day. Problem was too much Information the brain cant handell. To much diffrent aspects and topics, and they can easily mix up. When I asked Osmo he said : Improve where you have weaknesses, for example Middle game. annotated games will aid this, also he said when creating a training schedual take chunks ???? This means spend more time on something and learn it properlly not by small amounts, like 1h devot your time like 3h per one subject it would be pointless to study the Dragon variation of Sicillian 1h, and then on the najdorf 30 min. ,and the rest 3h not only will you be wasting time but you will be crushed in the opening against a player who knows the opening. And also he said u need a theme for your training this is about your weaknesses. so if its Middle game or endgame, or opening train in that specific area.

Still pretty good for a Cambodian and I don't see a mistake either.

There is no spelling mistake, just my little joke (try a "t" for an "n".... read in context).

Ha ha ha yeah that's funny, maybe not for him but then again he calls himself Booby fisher so he likes to play with words and even more than he likes to play chess therefore you can try the o for an i as well although it is not 100% correct spelling.
