    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Ben. He has a fascinating take on chess improvement: we are mostly doing it wrong. His focus is on filling the bottom holes in your bucket or put another way, grabbing the low hanging fruit. He believes that most often these holes aren’t knowledge based. Instead they may be insta moving after opponent blunders or playing too fast in king pawn endings. Ben has designed software that identifies these patterns and is using it to improve his own game. We had a deep discussion about openings. He believes that the best opening for a titled player is not the best opening for you and I. Ben uses player databases, and plays what works at his level. It was a fun chat about going beyond the standard improvement techniques and finding new paths for improvement.

    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with NM John Wright. He is the president of the San Gabriel Valley Chess Club. John talked about his 60 year history with chess. We discussed some of his first books, and how he learned chess long before the days of the internet. We talked about a wide range of topics such as kids in chess, streaks and slumps, teaching, and being a TD. John also discussed his journey to 2200. He reached 2150, but it took 7 more years to reach 2200! It was a great discussion covering many aspects of the chess journey.

    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Dash. We discussed his journey into chess. Dash has tried a lot of improvement techniques and most did not work for him. However, the Chessbrah opening video series worked. He has also spent a lot of time with Maia chess. We discussed why it is useful and how he uses it. Dash has even designed an app to use more of Maia’s features. We also chatted about his lack of time, which makes him unable to get in OTB games.

    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Don. He’s been having fun with chess since his first experiences in the 1970’s. We talked about the challenges of finding playing partners and improving at chess before the internet. We discussed the many clubs Don has attended over the years, including his favorite the St. Louis Chess Club. Don collects autographs and he told some stories about this process. We talked a bit about improvement, but this isn’t an obsession for Don in the last few years. This is a fun episode more focused on enjoying chess for what it is rather than accruing those precious rating points.

    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Mike. Mike loves to play chess, compete, and travel. Retirement has allowed him to do all of these things in chess. He talked about his early chess days, which culminated in the NM title. But we focused more on his return to chess. We discussed international events and his desire to play (196 games in a year!) We talked about the challenges of improvement, senior tournaments, and kids in chess. This was a great interview for anyone wanting to hear from someone who loves to play chess.

    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with friend of the show Jay Garrison about our chess summers. Jay’s was full of interesting activities like the Naroditsky Memorial Tournament and the Charlotte Chess Center elite camp. He played a lot of blitz, did tactics, and worked on calculation. Jay played in two classical events that weren’t the success stories that he hoped they would be. My summer was full of plugging gaps in my knowledge/skill regarding attacking and defending chess, openings, and calculation. I had the best tournament summer of my chess career ending at 1866.

We spent most of the episode talking about his current training program, running a chess club, and helping his children enjoy chess. Joel has adopted a more simplistic approach to training, which has netted him 200 rating points! He talked about the joy of running a chess club and how to start one. It was fun catching up with a guest that has since so much rating improvement and joy for chess.

    I talked to Tatev Abrahmamyan back in April of 2022 episode 41. This conversation was fascinating as she was trying to juggle the realities of having a full time job and trying to be a chess professional. She expressed many doubts about she recent progress and trying to find time for chess improvement. In August of 2025, Tatev broke through with an amazing tournament scoring a GM norm and crossing 2400 to reach the IM title. In this snippet of our conversation Tatev talked about the value of coaches and coaching, and the challenges of finding the right person for you. We discussed the challenge of staying motivated to work on chess, and the challenges of staying sharp and doing the work while having a full time job.

    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Kirsten. We spoke about her love of chess and trying to find the time for improvement. Kirsten went from 400-1400 in two years, but recently has hit a plateau. She provided several resources suggestions including books and videos. We discussed finding OTB opportunities, and we spoke a bit about the LA and Santa Monica chess scene. Kirsten discussed teaching her child chess. We discussed chess history. A big takeaway from this episode is that even when Kirsten doesn’t have time for dedicated chess improvement, she is staying connected to the game she loves.

    This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Gene. He has recently returned to chess yet again after a hiatus. We talked about what he is doing differently this time around such as goals, openings, coaching, and thought process. He gave several book recommendations such as the Amateur’s Mind and Kasparov’s Successors. Gene talked about the importance of tactics and his recent use of CT-Art. We spent time talking about his recent epiphany that blitz should be treated differently from rapid or classical and this caused a massive jump in those ratings.
