10 Tips To Improve at Fast Antichess

TacticsChess variantLichess
How to improve at fast Antichess Games in 10 steps

Step 1

Get good at slow Antichess. I.e. timecontrol 1+2 and higher.

Step 2

Get a good internet connection. Prefereably the ping value should be less than 200, and the server value less than or equal to 0.1.

Step 3

Improve your speed (don't use kb).

Step 4

Watch a lot of fast-paced games. Probably the tv of ChessTitans92/TheUnknownGuyReborn/devansh2008.

Step 5

Try to keep more time on your clock than your opponent's at all times. Best way to do this is to try to do the first 10 moves within 5 sec of your time, as it gains you a time advantage most of the times. Don't blunder trying to keep the time advantage tho.

Step 6

Use the clock app on mobile, and see how fast you can solve the Antichess Puzzles here. The faster the better.

Step 7

Improve via Timed Training to increase your speed.

Step 8

Play Tournaments. The Hourly Antichess Arenas at 5:00, 5:30, 9:00, 9:30, 19:00, 19:30 UTC are of the timecontrol 1+0. Play them.

Step 9

Don't play hyper (1/2+0). Hyper never helps to improve yourself in other time controls. Play with increment of +1 or +2 to get better endgames.

Step 10

Enable Zen Mode to not get distracted by the chat.
