Ep. 115 Christian (1800 USCF)

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Christian. He’s gone through a number of phases in his chess journey, including recently coming back to chess improvement. We talked a lot about his time taking lessons with the recently deceased legendary writer and coach, Jeremy Silman. Christian talked about what the lesson were like focusing on psychology and positional chess. Christian provided a few book suggestions including Secrets of Chess Tactics by Dvoretsky. Christian also detailed his primary training method of using Chessbase to mark and drill positions from his own games.
