Reading a game

Strategy

Hi Alois I have some difficulties in reading my opponent's game and my game.

It's hard for me to find out what's wrong and to read my opponent's weakness as he have already taken advantage of my weakness to win the game. Are there anything you would suggest like what should I observe more? Thanks.

Hi Elgin,

Take a look through the Vault.  This will give you a basic outline of things to look for in your opponents game.  Go through the template for each of your opponents.

As you do this more often, you will start to be able to do it quicker and even during matches or at tournaments when you are watching other players.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
