"... In order to maximize the benefits of [theory and practice], these two should be
approached in a balanced manner. ... Play as many slow games (60 5 or preferably slower)
as possible, ... The other side of improvement is theory. ... This can be reading books, taking
lessons, watching videos, doing problems on software, etc. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

"... If it’s instruction, you look for an author that addresses players at your level (buying
something that’s too advanced won’t help you at all). This means that a classic book that is
revered by many people might not be useful for you. ..." - IM Jeremy Silman (2015)

Heisman’s Big Five

*"The most important issue in chess is SAFETY; second is ACTIVITY; everything else on the
board is relatively unimportant." (But thought process, time management, and
learning/prioritizing general principles complete the Big 5 and are also important.)

"In the opening a player should play like a book, in the middle like a magician, and in the
ending like a machine."
