Ep. 163 NM Ben Johnson - Perpetual Chess Podcast Host

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Ben Johnson, host of the Perpetual Chess Podcast. We talked about his recent chess journey, his thoughts on consistent play, and his new Chessable Course, Identifying Critical Moments. I also provide a brief tournament report from the Southern California Open, where I went 1-5. We briefly discussed the games and discussed the challenges of dealing with poor tournament performances.
