Piscopo proposes a change in Montemagno's training: temporarily set aside the Jobava and play open positions with the Danish Gambit, using rapid development and active bishops. The switch is intended to develop calculation beyond familiar patterns, even if the rating initially falls. The training plan also includes games with increment, a longer session, exercises and days devoted either to taking a break from games or playing for enjoyment.
Key points
- Opening lines and sacrificing pawns for development creates calculation and attacking practice.
- Games provide study material: reviewing doubts and mistakes gradually builds the repertoire.
- More time and fewer games support deeper thinking; changes to the black repertoire are postponed.
