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!
Essential Chess Tips From 6 Books By NM Dan Heisman
075 NM Dan Heisman is a world-renowned chess coach and author. He’s on the verge of publishing his thirteenth, and perhaps final, chess improvement book. In this episode, we take a retrospective of some of Dan’s best books and offer improvement advice relevant to each book.
It’s an honor to celebrate Dan’s amazing multi-decade career as a chess author and his third appearance on the podcast.
Some tips we discuss:
- Surprising advice from Dan on the #1 principle that should guide your study plan.
- How to avoid a common mistake club players make when choosing annotated game books.
- Three key categories of what to study to improve your chess - and how much time to focus on each one.
Later this year (2024), Dan will publish a book based on his ongoing “Chess Tip of the Day” series that he’s posted daily for years on Twitter. Look for that soon!
In the meantime, here are links to all of Dan’s fantastic books, his YouTube channel, and his website.
