Practice

Hi.

What does practice mean in:

  • Try to under­stand it [= the symbol +/=] and benefit as much as possible from its almost mythical significance in the world of mod­em chess practice
  • I have therefore opted for a combined approach: 50 examples from my practice and 25 of other, outstand­ing players.
  • I would like to thank him for the way he taught me to under­stand and practice chess.
  • The most important element in modern chess practice is probably correct planning.

Thanks in advance
