Weekly Training Template – Balanced Plan

• Day 1 – Tactics & Puzzles

  Start the week sharpening calculation. Spend 30–60 minutes on tactical puzzles. Focus on accuracy first, speed second.

• Day 2 – Openings Review

  Update your repertoire. Review model games and test yourself on key lines. Avoid rote memorization—focus on understanding ideas.

• Day 3 – Endgame Study

  Study one endgame theme deeply (e.g., rook endings, opposition, pawn breaks). Reinforce it with practical examples from master games.

• Day 4 – Training Game

  Play a slow online or OTB game (rapid/classical). Annotate it immediately after, writing down your thought process before checking with an engine.

• Day 5 – Middlegame Themes

  Study positional concepts like weak squares, outposts, pawn breaks, and open files. Replay model games to see themes in action.

• Day 6 – Mixed Drills

  Combine tactics, endgames, and calculation drills. A varied session improves flexibility and prevents training from becoming stale.

• Day 7 – Reflection & Review

  Look back at your games and training for the week. Identify recurring mistakes, track progress, and set small goals for the coming week.

• Adapt the Plan

  This template is a starting point. If your endgames are weak, give them more time. If you struggle with nerves, add psychological preparation exercises.

• Keep It Sustainable

  Better to follow a modest plan consistently than an intense one you abandon. Consistency is the true key to long-term chess improvement.

• Track Progress

  Keep a journal of puzzles solved, games played, and lessons learned. Over time, you’ll see steady growth from structured training.
