After all, he, too, in some moments, had the best chances.
4. Analysis of games of famous chess players. Books of famous chess players can be bought in bookstores, downloaded on the Internet, borrowed from the library. There not only parties are provided, but also comments are given to them.
5. Play more often in various tournaments. In each city several times a year events of this kind are necessarily held. Participation in them is available to everyone. If it is not possible to play in tournaments, then you can find opponents on the Internet. There are many servers out there.
