When it comes to opening preparation, there is more than one approach. The classical approach to opening preparation involves studying classical games in the opening of your choice.
Every modern GM stands on the shoulders of giants. Top players immediately recall famous classical games from the past. Much of their strength comes from studying and copying the great play of their predecessors.
Fischer, for example, studied all of Steinitz’ games. Kasparov, Carlsen, and Anand have in-turn studied many of Fischer’s games.
Studying the classics is an essential aspect of chess improvement. The ability to memorize great games of the past and utilize the ideas in your own games is paramount. It helps you to broaden your horizons and get more and more strategic and tactical ideas.
As GM Sethuraman shows in this video, a free preview of his new Master Method, studying classical games is an excellent way to learn an opening.
If you want to add a new opening system to your repertoire it is always important to study the classical games in that particular variation. It is always interesting to note how the legends played in the past and see how the theory has evolved since.
In fact, one of the reasons why the world’s top players are extremely resourceful is that they have studied many games from the past and present. Classical themes also pay a huge role in modern games.
By analyzing classical (and modern) games, you’ll greatly improve your pattern recognition. When calculating variations in your own games, these classical patterns will come to your mind and help you find the best ideas.
In the full course from GM Sethuraman, Train Like a Chameleon, he provides you with the knowledge and the most important skills you need to develop a universal style.
If you want to become unpredictable in the opening, if you want to play equally strong in tactical as well as strategic positions, and if you want to become a more complete player who is also well-equipped for the endgame and psychological battles, this course is for you.
