Ep. 186 Emly Plays Chess - Twitch and Youtube (1000 USCF)

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Emily Plays Chess. Emily hasn’t been playing chess long, but she is all in! We talked about her improvement journey from discovering chess, streaming, tournaments, and resources. Emily discussed the challenges of balancing the learning opportunities with the stress of big tournaments. She also highlighted the social aspects of chess as an important part of her journey. She attributes her rapid climb from 300-1300 rapid to coaching, strategy work, playing rapid games, and most of all consistency.Emily’s Twitch and Youtube:https://www.twitch.tv/emilyplayschesshttps://www.youtube.com/@emilyplayschessChessnut Link/Code: Code - KEVINSCULLhttps://www.chessnutech.com?sca_ref=7643464.HueBIKWTYEGet 20% off GM Noël Studer's courses with Coupon chessjourneys20Beginner Chess Mastery for players below 1200 Chesscom / 1400 Lichess -> https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/beginner-chess-mastery?ref=04f5d8Next Level Training for anyone trying to train better and more efficiently -> https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/next-level-training?ref=04f5d8Use this link to purchase Next Level Chess: https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/next-level-training?ref=04f5d8My Road to 2200 Youtube series: https://youtu.be/BzKYDt5oBU8Be sure to check out the Chess Journeys Merch Store!
