It is particularly with shortened thinking times that the number of errors rises rapidly. In many blitz games there are numerous positions in which mistakes have been made and these are frequently very suitable for training purposes.

 

For some time now the games played by users on our server have been automatically analysed in the background. According to the way the game has gone the user then often faces a dilemma: should he now go on to play another game or would he be better to immediately take a look at the automatic analysis? If, for example, the opponent offers a return game then an immediate post mortem at once falls by the wayside.

 

The function “Blitz & Train” offers a remedy to this: no matter how many games you have just played or not played you can generate from your own games training material and with a few clicks you can print it directly.

 

 

To do so in playchess.com, under the tab Training call up the function Print training. You then have these possible settings:

 

 

The function Blitz & Train presupposes that you have played some blitz games, in which combinations and mistakes are to be found. With Print training some appropriate exercise sheets are printed, while if you choose the option “List training positions” you simply get a database with these positions.

 

The positions are listed in chronologically descending order, with the recent games coming at the start of the database list. Tasks are evaluated for both sides. If you wish to take into account only your own colour, you can limit the choice to games or moves of the account under which you have logged in.
