Number 1 talks about improving pattern recognition for basic checkmates and improving your focus, both of which have been extensively discussed in chess literature. Number 3 talks about learning from others' mistakes, having your games analyzed, and reading over famous chess players' annotations of games, which are found in most basic books about how to improve. However, I will admit that I didn't realize some people hadn't been introduced to these topics outside of this post.

Thanks for telling me, but I edited my post and your thing probably didn't update.

Ok. I'm not really sure what you mean by "last paragraph", do you mean the one about learning from others' errors or the one about constant experience making you a better player? Both have been discussed in many books about chess thinking and in blog posts here as well.
