Shownotes

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Mike. We talked about his journey, starting from the bottom. He talked about starting at 600 and working his way up by doing tactics, openings, and playing games. Mike discussed his improvement plan, which includes flashcards, Chessbook, and tactics books like Polgar’s Chess Tactics for Champions. He also talked about lessons from his career as a pilot, lessons learned from this podcast, and his improvement plan. This is a great podcast for anyone near the beginning of their journey. It’s full of a lot of useful advice.
