Ep. 159 Marc (1650 USCF)
<p> </p> <p>This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Marc. He’s an adult improver trying to juggle life and chess. We had a great conversation about chess improvement. This included his suggestion of emulating a player, less opening theory, and listening to how better players process chess. Marc also explained his theory that our ratings are not a measure of our knowledge and overall skill. Rather ratings are a measure of our worst moves and ability to compete effectively. We also discussed letting go of rating and improvement goals. Marc claims that chess can be enjoyed by playing the game you love! </p> <p>Check out Marc’s Youtube and Instgram accounts: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/htxchess/">https://www.instagram.com/htxchess/</a> and </p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@htxchess">https://www.youtube.com/@htxchess</a></p> <p>Use this link and the code Scull20 for 20% off of your Chessbook purchases at </p> <p><a href="https://chessbook.com/chessjourneys">https://chessbook.com/chessjourneys</a></p> <p>Use this link to purchase Next Level Training: <a href="https://nextlevelchesscourses.teachable.com/p/next-level-training?affcode=1152624_t9sjlp49">https://nextlevelchesscourses.teachable.com/p/next-level-training?affcode=1152624_t9sjlp49</a></p> <p>Be sure to check out the Chess Journeys Merch Store!
