AskMonty AI editorial noteSource consulted:
Montemagno begins his 2024 challenge to reach a 2000 chess rating with International Master Pierluigi Piscopo. Their first lesson tests calculation, visualisation and awareness of opponents' replies through tactical exercises. The coach proposes a more focused routine combining games and exercises. Four games with Montemagno's own commentary follow, revealing both opportunities for improvement and difficulties in finding plans and converting an advantage into a win.
Key points
- Early work prioritises tactics and mental visualisation without immediately replacing the opening repertoire already in use.
- In exercises, the coach emphasises forcing moves, calculating the opponent's best replies and checking the consequences.
- The proposed routine limits games to two sessions of four and two, complemented by exercises and reviewing mistakes.
- The four concluding games produce three wins and one loss, leaving further work on managing advantages and endgames.
