    Episode 425- IM Willy Hendriks: The Award-Winning Author on Nimzowitsch’s Ego, Tarrasch’s Tenets and What Their Rivalry Means for Modern Chess.
    Mar 11 2025
    IM Willy Hendriks is an award-winning chess author, historian and chess trainer. He has just released his fourth book, The Philosopher and the Housewife:Tarrasch, Nimzowitsch and the Evolution of Chess. This book is the completion of a trilogy which casts a new light on chess history and looks at the evolution of chess ideas. Willy’s newest book focuses on the early 20th century, with a particular emphasis on Aron Nimzowitsch and Siegbert Tarrasch. We tackle questions such as: Was Aron Nimzowitsch the most pretentious chess player of them all? What does Willy think of My System? Have the stylistic differences between Tarrasch and Nimzowitsch been exaggerated? What can we learn about engines and modern chess through reading about these players? Our conversation is filled with fun stories and reflections about these players, along with the contributions of the third “main character,” Semion Alapin. We also discuss Willy’s own competitive career and his potential next projects. It is always a pleasure to read Willy's work and to speak with him. Timestamps of topics discussed are below.

  • EP 424- GM Wojciech Moranda: Visualization, Pattern Recognition and the 5 Elements of Calculation

    EP 424- GM Wojciech Moranda: Visualization, Pattern Recognition and the 5 Elements of Calculation
    Mar 4 2025
    GM Wojciech Moranda is a high-level trainer, author and 2600+ rated player who has worked with the Polish youth national team and IM Levy Rozman among many other students. I often recommend his books for ambitious advanced players, so I was excited to welcome him back to discuss his new Chessable Course, The Moranda Method: How to Calculate Like a Beast. In the course, and in our discussion, Wojciech lays out his core beliefs and fundamental framework for how to calculate in chess. His course is best-suited for 1800+ players, but Wojciech’s insights can help players at any level. In our conversation, we discuss common misconceptions about calculation, when one should stop calculating a variation, and then Wojciech lays out what he calls “the 5 elements of calculation.” Wojciech is extremely knowledgeable about chess, and its always a pleasure to speak with him. Check out our bonus video going through a calculation exercise on the Perpetual Chess YouTube page: https://youtu.be/0gSdFDkeeWQ 0:00- What is the definition of calculation? 0:03- What are some common misconceptions about calculation? 0:12- When should we stop calculating a sequence?What visualization advice can Wojciech give? Mentioned: Step 2 Thinking Ahead 23:00- We discuss Wojciech’s “5 Elements of Calculation,” starting with what he calls “vision and perceptivity.” 49:00- Patreon mailbag question: Was Wojciech influenced by the work of legendary trainer Josef Dorfman? 56:00- What is a typical day like for Wojciech?

    EP 423- FM Nate Solon on The Right Way to Learn Openings, the Fundamental Flaw of Chess Puzzles and What He Is Working on and Planning for 2025.
    Feb 25 2025
    FM Nate Solon is a data scientist, Chessable author, New in Chess Magazine columnist and the creator of the popular and insightful newsletter, Zwischenzug. Nate joined me shortly after we played in a tournament together to share his latest chess-improvement related thoughts and to reflect on recent lessons he has absorbed. We focused on a few themes in particular: Why Nate thinks the challenge of learning new openings is often overstated, and the way in which he thinks chess openings “resemble poems.” How to avoid the trap of overemphasizing solving tactics in one’s training plan Nate and I both discuss our experiences in the recent World Amateur Team tournament, and the ways in which the weekend tournament experience might be improved. There is always a lot to learn from Nate, and I am confident your chess can benefit from this conversation. Timestamps of discussion are below. Sub to Nate’s newsletter here: https://zwischenzug.substack.com/ 0:02- Nate’s comprehensive advice for learning openings, which focuses on learning by playing and utilizing spaced repetition 17:00- Nate’s advice for using model games 22:00- Do people overemphasize tactical puzzles? How can we avoid this trap? Mentioned: New in Chess Magazine, My Chessable Course 26:00- What is “gritty calculation”?
