Grandmaster Q&A at Quality Chess

The latest commentary on training to take off in the chess blogosphere is Grandmaster Q&A at the Quality Chess blog.  The post by GM Jacob Aagaard emphasizes the following aspects of a training program:

a) Analyse your own games (and those of others)
b) Solve exercises
c) Improve your openings
d) Study the endgame

I highly recommend reading the original post (and the commentary, although it is all over the place).

For those looking for past commentary on these topics here, for comparison or just for curiosity, relevant posts are:

• Analyzing your own games is more than just analyzing your own games
• Tournament Preparation: Chess Skills
• Opening Study Methods
• Chess Performance Inventory
