012 There are nitty-gritty ways to improve: like focusing on tactics or endgame study. But what about big picture improvement skills? For discussion on that, I brought National Master, James Altucher, who is also a successful author and entrepreneur…
James has written several business & personal development books…
Most relevant is Skip the Line, which teaches you how to improve at a skill faster than expected…
Plus, on his podcast, The James Altucher Show, he talks with highly successful people about the lessons & strategies that helped them achieve so much…
Including Garry Kasparov and Judit Polgar!
My interview with James covers lessons he's learned from these experiences…
Exciting lessons in this episode:
- Why age is not holding you back from chess improvement
- How to emotionally deal with losing in chess
- A must-know strategy for increasing your speed of improvement
- Why your chess journey should be about more than getting better at the game itself
