Reading a game
Strategy
Elgin Voon Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois I have some difficulties in reading my opponent's game and my game.
It's hard for me to find out what's wrong and to read my opponent's weakness as he have already taken advantage of my weakness to win the game. Are there anything you would suggest like what should I observe more? Thanks.

Hi Elgin,
Take a look through the Vault. This will give you a basic outline of things to look for in your opponents game. Go through the template for each of your opponents.
As you do this more often, you will start to be able to do it quicker and even during matches or at tournaments when you are watching other players.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
