Ep. 158 Paul (1400 rapid Chesscom)

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Paul. He’s a lawyer with a family trying to juggle his life and chess improvement. We talked about his approach to improvement which has included opening work, tactics, Silman’s endgame course, and rapid games. Lately, Paul has started a new project, examining classic games. He uses a new approach that he calls Common Law chess. Hiis approach starts by quickly playing through the game and then working backwards to understand the story of the game. It’s an intriguing approach that he outlines in his substack: thinkinglikeachessplayer.
