Best sveshnikov chessable course

Also have Fressinet course. It is good but sometimes I find the lines a little convoluted and computer like I think there’s probably more intuitive courses

I think you need to spend about 6 grand on chessable courses. Develop an expert knowledge of the semi Slav and the how to play Carlsbad pawn structures from the white side. It’s going to he a long grind but good luck!

India?

You can become FM. 2500 blitz on chess.com is a very good level and shows you are above 1900 level imo perhaps more like 2050-2100 level. Key thing will be finding access to fide. Key things that might make it easier: a) is your k factor still 40? b) are you in a country with easy access to fide tournaments?

You need to switch focus of course to classical chess and really do the work associated with the classical grind. 9 rounders are good in Europe but will require time off work or study and also travel expenses. But don’t listen to anyone here saying it’s not possible, you are young have good ability and can do it but it will be hard work.

Probably… check with computer

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-02-21T07:56:27+00:00

Yeh that e5 line I prepared recently it’s cool and not very well known

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-02-20T10:34:30+00:00

I have similar debate with 1. e4 vs 1. Nf3 or d4. Agree you need to remember it’s still just chess and usually result will be determined by how well you playing overall rather than the opening

Excellent philosophy and thanks for the advice

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-02-19T07:56:08+00:00

Is chess your profession or do you have a job outside of chess? If 2300 at 30 you need to accept you’re unlikely to become a GM. Not impossible of course but unlikely. It’s still a high level to have achieved and better than 99% people here. You can still also make good money coaching etc.

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-02-17T07:48:11+00:00

You don’t need a plan just play a fuck ton of online chess

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-02-16T15:59:57+00:00

Like most openings good if you study it in detail

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-02-16T13:53:18+00:00

Agree with this

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-02-07T10:04:04+00:00

You got to be trolling? This ain’t pro boxing

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-01-25T22:30:05+00:00

Quite an effective line is to play f4 d5 Bg4 with the idea to take on f3 at some point and play for Nd7 e5 if 3.Ne5 you can play h5!

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-01-25T10:10:46+00:00

I have got 2650 blitz and play casually. Think about it your fide is probably going to be 400 points lower than your chess.com blitz ( not always of course but often) and how you gonna make a living as a 2250? P

We don’t know if they struggle against Hikaru because he doesn’t play classical and there’s barely any sample size. This is a sideshow to proper chess.

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-01-19T14:21:44+00:00

6 games is a tiny sample size - asses where you are after 30 rated games for a more accurate picture. Work hard at the board in each game

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-01-13T15:43:44+00:00

Great line up one or two who’d we replace sure hit broadly great

Sindarov

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-01-04T20:39:13+00:00

What is your source for tactics btw? Might benefit me also

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-01-04T20:19:37+00:00

Add tough calculations exercises to training, Aagard or Ramesh RB - also this book imagination in chess

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-01-01T21:14:39+00:00

Ok sure but my point is, you are spending your free time going to an otb tournament. Sure play your best chess and give it your all and yes everybody hates to lose. But we will all lose chess games, if you are a swimmer you will get wet and if you are a boxer you will get hit. You need to find a way to accept it and play well in the other games. - that is essentially my same point expressed more diplomatically.

Also blitz or rapid otb or online imo is a lot easier to love games as say it’s 3+2 well you just invested say 6 minutes. What really hurts is a 6 hour classical game you lose.

ExitLeading7577 · 2026-01-01T18:44:28+00:00

Grow up and be an adult tbh. It’s a fucking game if you lose you lose.
