Ep. 107 Jesse (1700 USCF)

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Jesse. He’s an avid adult improver who plays at the same club as me. We talked a lot about his rapid improvement journey from 1400 to nearly 1700. His journey included many bumps and rating drops. We talked about the books that had the most impact including Silman’s Reassess Your Chess, endgame work, and tactics study. Jesse also talked about taking breaks from the improvement side of chess when he starts to feel burnt out. These breaks help him come back even more excited to learn and improve.
