Shownotes
This episode of Chess Journeys is an excerpt from Episode 29 featuring Chris Wainscott. Chris is a founding member of the chess punk community with lofty improvement goals. We had a wide ranging conversation covering topics such as chess tactics and resources, why he is studying positional books right now, fighting against the pull of laziness, the importance of playing rather than only studying, and the perils of relying on rating for measuring progress.
Trusting the Process. In the rest of the conversation we covered other topics such as resources for improvement, using tools such as Aimchess, and the value of coaches.
