ChessNeurons - Your guide to improving positional chess
ChessNeurons and ChessBase India have been collaborating on a series ‘Sharpen Your Strategic Skills’ since 12th July 2024. Every week, we publish 5 puzzles to solve which will help you improve your game strategy. The brain behind these puzzles is GM Ankit Rajpara who carefully studies different games and creates the best puzzles out of it. He has been a coach of many national and international players of different ages. In every episode, Ankit provides solutions to previous puzzles in various formats. Whether you prefer video explanations or an interactive puzzle-solving experience, ChessNeurons lets you choose your favorite way to learn.
One of the most attractive things about ChessNeurons website is that it is an innovative website. It has many user-friendly and interactive features which give a unique experience for everyone.

Since the day it was formed, 1st September 2023, ChessNeurons has always focused on improving players’ Positional Understanding.
There are a lot of online resources for solving tactical puzzles but not that many for positional puzzles. Most of the books and online resources available focus mainly on advanced players. So, keeping that in mind, I started ChessNeurons, imparting the knowledge of positional chess to upcoming players as well. – Ankit Rajpara

Tactics vs Positional Chess
In tactics, the goal is often immediate like material gain or a checkmate. However, in positional chess, the goal is to slowly and thoughtfully improving the position. You evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your and your opponent’s position. After comparing it, you try to make the best moves. This process takes time which is why Ankit advises everyone to spend enough time while solving the puzzles on ChessNeurons.
