035 Optimizing Mental Strategies & Training Methods w/ NM Bryan Tillis
Sep 20, 2022
It’s easy to think of chess improvement as only involving the study of specific areas of the game like strategy or openings.
But there are other, critical parts to improvement, as well.
Which is why I chat with NM Bryan Tillis and discuss:
- The importance of having a WHY for your chess goals
- How to balance fun with doing what’s necessary to improve
- Asking whether your training is matching your goals
And, towards the end of the episode, Bryan offers several pieces of great advice for OTB tournaments.
