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!
Optimizing Mental Strategies & Training Methods w/ NM Bryan Tillis
035 It’s easy to think of chess improvement as only involving the study of specific areas of the game like strategy or openings.
But there are other, critical parts to improvement, as well.
Which is why I chat with NM Bryan Tillis and discuss:
- The importance of having a WHY for your chess goals
- How to balance fun with doing what’s necessary to improve
- Asking whether your training is matching your goals
And, towards the end of the episode, Bryan offers several pieces of great advice for OTB tournaments.
