  • Ep. 187 Aidan - Don’t Move Until You See it
    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Aidan from Don’t Move Until You See It. We talked about visualization, memory work, narrative vs. visual memories, aphantasia, and other related issues. Aidan took me through a sample blindfold exercise to demonstrate how different brains worked. We ended with an examination of my recent slump and focus on basic tactics. This episode is packed with helpful advice regarding our brains and how to unlock their full potential!Aidan’s website: https://dontmoveuntilyousee.it/Chessnut Link/Code: Code - KEVINSCULLhttps://www.chessnutech.com?sca_ref=7643464.HueBIKWTYEGet 20% off GM Noël Studer's courses with Coupon chessjourneys20Beginner Chess Mastery for players below 1200 Chesscom / 1400 Lichess -> https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/beginner-chess-mastery?ref=04f5d8Next Level Training for anyone trying to train better and more efficiently -> https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/next-level-training?ref=04f5d8Use this link to purchase Next Level Chess: https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/next-level-training?ref=04f5d8My Road to 2200 Youtube series: https://youtu.be/BzKYDt5oBU8Be sure to check out the Chess Journeys Merch Store!

  • Ep. 186 Emly Plays Chess - Twitch and Youtube (1000 USCF)
    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Emily Plays Chess. Emily hasn’t been playing chess long, but she is all in! We talked about her improvement journey from discovering chess, streaming, tournaments, and resources. Emily discussed the challenges of balancing the learning opportunities with the stress of big tournaments. She also highlighted the social aspects of chess as an important part of her journey. She attributes her rapid climb from 300-1300 rapid to coaching, strategy work, playing rapid games, and most of all consistency.Emily’s Twitch and Youtube:https://www.twitch.tv/emilyplayschesshttps://www.youtube.com/@emilyplayschessChessnut Link/Code: Code - KEVINSCULLhttps://www.chessnutech.com?sca_ref=7643464.HueBIKWTYEGet 20% off GM Noël Studer's courses with Coupon chessjourneys20Beginner Chess Mastery for players below 1200 Chesscom / 1400 Lichess -> https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/beginner-chess-mastery?ref=04f5d8Next Level Training for anyone trying to train better and more efficiently -> https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/next-level-training?ref=04f5d8Use this link to purchase Next Level Chess: https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/next-level-training?ref=04f5d8My Road to 2200 Youtube series: https://youtu.be/BzKYDt5oBU8Be sure to check out the Chess Journeys Merch Store!

  • Ep. 185 David (500 USCF)
    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with David. We talked a lot about his journey into chess and having fun with the game. We also discussed his first tournament and his recent success in tournaments. David talked about his transition into a more serious chess player and resources such as Silman, Naroditsky, and The Butcher. David also laid out the process for starting a club, which sounds quite doable for anyone out there without a club to play at. David also discussed coaching and learning how to study chess. It was a great conversation with a lower rated adult looking to improve and enjoy the process!Chessnut Link/Code: Code - KEVINSCULLhttps://www.chessnutech.com?sca_ref=7643464.HueBIKWTYEGet 20% off GM Noël Studer's courses with Coupon chessjourneys20Beginner Chess Mastery for players below 1200 Chesscom / 1400 Lichess -> https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/beginner-chess-mastery?ref=04f5d8Next Level Training for anyone trying to train better and more efficiently -> https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/next-level-training?ref=04f5d8Use this link to purchase Next Level Chess: https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/next-level-training?ref=04f5d8My Road to 2200 Youtube series: https://youtu.be/BzKYDt5oBU8Be sure to check out the Chess Journeys Merch Store!

  • Ep. 183 Rob (1600 Chesscom)
    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Rob. He’s trying to juggle career, family, and chess improvement. We discussed his recent rapid success, reaching 1600, and where to go next. Rob has decided to focus on studying for a few months to outline a process that will help him improve more. He’s been focused on Polgar’s mate in 2 puzzles, Calculation: A Complete Guide for Tournament Players, and Youtube videos. Rob is especially impressed by Daniel Naroditsky’s speed run series. Recently Rob started going to a chess club, and we reflected on the transition to 3d chess and interacting with actual people.
