Ep 78 Matthew (1850 USCF)
<p>This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Matthew. He’s a dedicated chess improver who picked up the game at 48. He initially struggled greatly, but with dedication and focused study, he has lifted his rating as high as 1900 USCF. Matthew spent a lot of time talking about the adult brain, its limitations, and how he has sought to overcome them. It was a wonderful interview for us older adult improvers that face the reality of slower data acquisition and processing power.</p> <p><u>Brain Resource: </u><a href="https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/2020/02/24/age-learning/"><u>https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/2020/02/24/age-learning/</u></a></p> <p>Be sure the check out the Chess Journeys Merch Store!
