Ep. 202 Marcus (960 USCF)

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke to Marcus. He has made a lot of progress the last few years, gaining 400 rating points. Marcus spent a lot of the time talking about how he uses chess to improve his life. Marcus focused on emotional regulation issues, and how chess is a vehicle for improving this skill. We also talked at length about tournaments and their value. I left the conversation thinking about how chess improves my life, and I imagine you will as well. : My Chessable Course!https://www.chessable.com/chess-journeys-tactics-workbook-turning-knowledge-into-skill/course/268850/Chessnut Link/Code: Code - KEVINSCULLhttps://www.chessnutech.com?sca_ref=7643464.HueBIKWTYEGet 20% off GM Noël Studer's courses with Coupon chessjourneys20The Simplified Chess Improvement System: https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/simplified-chess-improvement-system?ref=04f5d8My Road to 2200 Youtube series: https://youtu.be/BzKYDt5oBU8Be sure to check out the Chess Journeys Merch Store!
