105 Evaluation: A Vital But Overlooked Skill For Club Players w/ GM Eugene Perelshteyn

Oct 22, 2024
 

Today’s guest is a huge help to countless adult improvers.

GM Eugene Perelshteyn is a highly regarded coach, author, and course creator.

In more recent years, he went beyond helping his private students and extended his chess wisdom to writing a book and publishing courses.

His 2022 book, Evaluate Like A Grandmaster, is a huge help to almost every club player. And we discuss at length the benefits of improving your often-overlooked evaluation skills in chess.

But this is also a wide-reaching interview…

In our chat, we discuss the recent controversy with GM Christopher Woo at the US Chess Championship and why mental health is a critical topic for competitive players (even amateurs!)

Plus, we cover: 

  • How studying gambits can make you a better chess player.
  • Who is likely to win the World Chess Championship between Ding & Gukesh.
  • Hikaru’s trick to playing better competitively that applies to all players.
