Daily Chess Training Plan
The difference between players who plateau and players who keep improving is a structured daily plan. Not just "do puzzles", a plan that identifies your specific weaknesses and targets them. See also our study routine guide.
Step 1: Identify weaknesses
Analyse your last 20 games. Where do you lose?
- Opening: Out of book by move 5?
- Middlegame: Missing tactics? Bad plans?
- Endgame: Losing drawn positions?
- Psychology: Time trouble? Tilt? This analysis tells you exactly what to study.
Step 2: Build the plan
- 50% on weaknesses: If endgames are weak, spend half your study time on endgames.
- 30% on fundamentals: Daily puzzles and game analysis.
- 20% on strengths: Maintain what you're already good at. Adjust monthly as your weaknesses shift.
