Chess improvement as an adult is harder than it should be. Plus, the journey can sometimes feel too stressful and serious. This show aims to fix that by 1) interviewing experts who can offer clarity on the best ways to improve; and 2) giving you a heap of fun with “chess entertainment” shows that discuss chess culture, events, movies, etc. Most episodes feature a guest, but sometimes I'll do a solo show on a topic. This is all brought to you by me, Daniel Lona. I’m a dedicated chess amateur and the owner of Adult Chess Academy. After listening to this podcast, I want you to have a clearer idea of how to improve, and have a more fun, dynamic chess experience. Please follow the show so you don’t miss an episode!
How Blitz Can Help, Time Management, & Trash-Talking w/ IM Greg Shahade
037 IM Greg Shahade always brings a good time.
His charisma and relaxed humor make for a dynamic, fun conversation in every interview he gives.
And this one is no different!
We cover a range of topics, including the difference between improving at chess versus trivia (it helps explain why chess is so difficult!), his spontaneous approach to life, and:
- Why blitz can improve your chess if you follow his two suggestions
- Time management advice for those who play too slow (and too fast!)
- Will he ever do chess boxing?
- Classic trash-talking segment against his recent rival, IM Lawrence Trent
