Hi,
As you might know, I have launched The Chess Gym together with FM Nate Solon.
We have been having weekly meetings for a while about the project and decided to test the idea of making a bi-weekly podcast with updates about the community and answering chess improvement questions. In the first episode, we talk about the following:
What is the Chess Gym about?
Emphasis on daily chess positions and solitaire games as core training methods.
The platform Circle is used for hosting the community.
Importance of community support and shared learning.
Focus on chess improvement for non-beginner, non-professional players.
The use of data-driven methods to track progress and improvement.
Considerations for different time controls in online chess games.
Encouragement for community members to share their thoughts and analyses of games.
I will add the podcast to Spotify and Apple podcasts soon! Until then you can listen to it here (top of the email) or in the Substack app.
