   Tom Chivers has a [1]post on the Streatham & Brixton Chess Club blog
   that usefully restates advice given by such authors as Mark Dvoretsky
   and Jonathan Rowson (as well as, on a humbler level, yours truly): the
   best training is game simulation (e.g. training games and analysis
   exercises). It's not online blitz, or even, says Chivers, solving
   problems online or from a book. Rather, there's value in using genuine
   physical equipment in one's training, if only because that's how the
   real games are played. More info at the link above, along with some
   positions he recommends for training purposes.
