Shifting Focus: Strategy and Endgames

This episode of Chess Journeys is an excerpt from Episode 20 featuring Neal Bruce, the father of adult chess improvement. It was my first conversation with Neal, and it was wide ranging. In the following excerpt we discussed what it takes to reach 1600, building a strong chess foundation, the importance of tactics, using flashcards to improve tactics, and the importance of having a plan. We covered so many other topics in the rest of the episode, so be sure to check it out if you enjoy this one. Neal Bruce also appeared on episode 133.
