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 Chess Offers Life & Career Lessons with FM Alisa Melekhina
030 To some, chess is just a game. But it can also be a valuable tool for giving us powerful life lessons. And these lessons can teach us how to achieve our goals better. Or improve our career. Sometimes, though, those insights aren’t always obvious to us...
So, we need a little help or awareness in uncovering them.
That’s what today’s guest, FM Alisa Melekhina, explains in my conversation with her.
And it’s also the subject of her superb book, Reality Check.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How chess teaches you more effective decision-making in your career.
- The best mindset for adult improvers who want to excel in chess but struggle with limited time.
- The chess “life lesson” of being calm or objective in the face of a problem.
- How to find meaning in your chess beyond just rating climbs.
