By applying analysis methods or values and making strategic choices and strategic planning. Read books about these topics! (1)



One list? Lots of lists! The text form is of little importance though. What matters is the contents of principles. Read those books with (more than a few) principles! (1)

(1) For a start, my two books have 9 major analysis methods (and more submethods), 16 particularly important values, 275 principles etc.

Perhaps for a starting point something like this would suffice?

I read the original article on ChessCafe.com - thanks to ez4u for reminding me of that site and the insight there to be had for go players.

Actually, other than the concept used for this thread, I took away something different from the article that I will have on my mind as I play:

Your positional judgment is not likely to improve the more time you spend thinking about a position, although your analytical judgment will (up to a 20 minute or so limit). Therefore, in faster games, or as you face time pressure, spend less and less time accordingly on positional decisions.
