Nikita Tiestieshnikov

Briefly about myselfMy name is Nikita Testeshnikov,I am 21 years old. I'm from Ukraine.Ratings FIDE: 2174/2058/ 2018Online:Lichess in blitz (3+0) ~2500(max was 2553)Chess.сom in blitz (3+0)~2600 (max was 2703)Today chess is changing rapidly, because of the influence of computers and the trend to speed up time controls. so the way I was taught is probably not so effective anymore, lately I've been practicing regularly on my own and in about 1.5-2 years I've added about 80 points to my classical rating, considering that I haven't played that many tournaments - it's not a bad result. And on the internet my average level of play has increased by 100-150 points in blitz.My focus was on tactics and openings.But the importance of this or that aspect depends a lot on the level of play. If you are a beginner, then you need to concentrate on the basic principles of playing openings and chess in general, rather than on the specific order of moves, as well as tactics and basic positions in the endgame.
