Band" in the German original ( http://www.jussupow.de/22982.html ). Its supose to enable a 1300 DWZ rated player to improve to 1500 DWZ ( together with the other 2 books + play.... ) . But most player think that the level of these books is way above this rating . DWZ supose to be equivalent to Fide ELO but these 1500 DWZ are estimatingly something like 1600 Elo.<br />So i wonder if this book did help you at your games in April?<br />Personaly i did not had the impression i did learn anything from themAoxomoxoA wonderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058687381216896080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3192113584757325016.post-11940682531105454642015-05-22T04:22:19.042-07:002015-05-22T04:22:19.042-07:00Thanks for the quick reply SilentKnight!

I would just look at the stats for a set,, sort them by problem # and manually enter the times into a spreadsheet.<br /><br />2) With Yusupov, I generally go through the training examples on a board. With the problems, I go through and try to solve them from my head. If I can't after 5 minutes, I set the problem up on the board and give myself another 5-10 minutes. If I still can't come up with some solution (rare), I will move the pieces around. This is a slight variation on how he recommends you approach the problems. I don't want to waste the time setting it up on the board if I can see the answer right away from the diagram.SilentKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050951919945684210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3192113584757325016.post-63933051239580587022015-05-21T02:31:57.889-07:002015-05-21T02:31:57.889-07:00Awesome blog, love it! Great work you're doing...Awesome blog, love it! Great work you're doing here and very helpful.<br /><br />I'm also trying to get better at chess, could you give me 2 hints:<br /><br />1) How can you export the times from ChessHero to a spreadsheet?<br /><br />2) Are you setting up every position from the Yusupov on a real board? Or do you use ChessHero for this too? Or do you work through it in a completely different way?<br /><br />Keep up the good work, SilentKnight!Chess-Rookienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3192113584757325016.post-6624050797718318912015-04-22T13:35:04.672-07:002015-04-22T13:35:04.672-07:00Where can we see your rating progress?Where can we see your rating progress?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3192113584757325016.post-77224537219631676432015-03-21T13:47:48.326-07:002015-03-21T13:47:48.326-07:00Good job silent knight.
