A podcast dedicated to the journey of adult chess improvement. Each week a guest will join me to discuss what has worked for them, what hasn't worked as well, and the status of their journey.

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke to Brad. He has made tremendous improvement rising from 1550 to 1964 in 3 years! We talked about a variety of topics such as coaching, tournaments, and handling bad tournaments. We talked about the value of tactics training and playing regularly. Brad also suggested changing openings occasionally to learn new positions.
