073 Positional Play for Club Players with FM Nate Solon
Dec 19, 2023
A second visit to the pod from chess coach & author, FM Nate Solon! In recent years, Nate has become a well-known chess educator.
He’s co-authored the highly-praised book, Evaluate Like a Grandmaster.
In 2023, he released his first Chessable course on the Reti opening for White.
Plus, Nate regularly publishes a popular e-newsletter on improvement advice called, Zwischenzug. (Links to all these are below!)
In this interview, we discuss:
- Preparation and performance lessons learned from Nate’s victory at the adults-only, classical tournament, called ALTO, at the Charlotte Chess Center.
- Why should you study positional play as a club player when everything is supposedly tactics and more tactics?
- How does playing the Reti (1.Nf3) - Nate’s new course! - give a club player a helpful advantage over 1.e4?
