All of the above to varying degrees, but the most important one is the one that people always seem to overlook: WORK HARD AT THE BOARD. If you (anyone - not necessarily Pablito) think you work hard at the board, then work harder - force yourself to. You should be EXHAUSTED after a game of chess. If you are not, then either the game was very easy, or you didnt work hard enough.
