Ep. 33 Simon (1900 FIDE)
<p>This week on Chess Journeys I spoke with Simon. He’s an academic with two children, who is trying to find time to improve at chess. We talked about the struggles of wanting to read books but not having the time or energy to do so. Simon talked a lot about his process of watching videos that helped him understand the thinking process of great players. We discussed intuition vs. calculation and the important role that intuition plays. Simon plays one classical game a week, watches a lot of videos, and plays a lot of blitz. This approach has gotten him to 1900 FIDE, including a recent surge of 100 points.</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 <a href="http://www.chessable.com/chessjourneys"><u>www.chessable.com/chessjourneys</u></a></p> <p>If you are considering using Aimchess, please use the code drscull30.</p>
