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 Marcus. He has made a lot of progress the last few years, gaining 400 rating points. Marcus spent a lot of the time talking about how he uses chess to improve his life. Marcus focused on emotional regulation issues, and how chess is a vehicle for improving this skill. We also talked at length about tournaments and their value. I left the conversation thinking about how chess improves my life, and I imagine you will as well.
