How to Improve at Chess: Tip # 14 - Study miniatures

Why study miniatures?
First, they are fun, short and sweet. You play through them and in no time, you are done.
Second, you see where the losing moves come in; you can learn to avoid similar mistakes.
Third, you see where the winning moves come in; you can learn how to finish a game or win in similar positions.
Fourth, they are easy to remember. I have discussed the need to play from memory before. Miniatures are a sure way to do that. The easier a concept is to remember, the higher the chances that you will apply it in your own life.
