Ep. 26 Tim (2100 chess.com, 1800 USCF)
<p>This week on Chess Journeys I am joined by Tim. In many ways this is a selfish podcast, as I specifically invited Tim to talk about his method of breaking out of a plateau at 1600. Tim and I talked a lot about his journey and the plateaus that he has faced. Tim defends his hot take that reading chess books isn’t necessary until 1600! Tim spends a lot of time working with Chessable for openings and did a thorough Woodpecker Method, which he attributes to a big ratings jump. We discussed other topics such as his thoughts on coaches, the psychology of OTB tournaments, and the importance of calculation.&nbsp;</p> <p>Chessable Endgame Course is https://www.chessable.com/timeless-technique-strategic-endgames/course/42898/</p> <p>As always you can support the show at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/ChessJourneys"><u>https://www.patreon.com/ChessJourneys</u></a>.</p> <p>Also, be sure to check out my Chessable page at chessable.com/chessjourneys.
