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 Aging Affects Chess Improvement with GM Jesse Kraai
022 If you’re over 30, you might wonder: “Will aging affect my chess improvement? Should I adjust my program any differently due to my age?” These are compelling but often difficult questions to answer...
On the one hand, we want to be optimistic and aim for whatever chess goal we desire, without concern over biology getting in the way...
And, yet, biology is real.
Athletes understand this - both amateur and professional alike.
Which is why it’s worth taking a look at this subject with clear eyes.
To discuss this further, I brought the esteemed Grandmaster Jesse Krai, co-founder of Chess Dojo.
In this episode we discuss:
- Would he coach someone differently if they’re 25 versus 45?
- Have adult improvers proven the upper limit of their potential yet?
- Is Viktor Korchnoi’s astonishing late-career run in his 70s instructive for adult improver potential?
