This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with CM Dr. Can Kabadayi. Dr. Can does it all in chess. He applies his work as a cognitive scientist to his chess teaching. We discussed lessons learned from his cognitive work. Dr. Can talked about his favorite Chessable courses and his approach to making them. We talked about the best resources for adult improvement, if adults can improve, and differences between children and adult learners. In short, we covered a lot of ground regarding adult chess improvement.
