GamingRe: ROAD TO GRANDMASTER - By Akinov !! by folakov: 12:06am On Mar 27, 2016
Hey Akinov,

Nice thread, I started a blog a while ago to document my path to a 4 hour work week, so I really understand this.

I used to play chess a while back and just got back. Back then there were loads of tournaments yearly, Nepa, Nbl etc. My dreams are still alive, I don't believe in giving up.

Anyway, I love people that dream and have aspirations, just ignore some comments on this thread.

I do have a piece of advice for you as I am on this path as well. I think 99% of chess players focus so much on openings and not enough on the basics. When I say basics, I mean general strategy. My focus for the rest of the year is to master the imbalances as set out in Silmans' book Reassess your chess and the workbook. Once I get this right, other things will follow in between.

Let's talk, can I buzz you on whatsapp?

How did NBL go and how are your preparations for the individual going?
