Ep. 24 Kevin Perera (1368 USCF)

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Kevin. He has a busy life and career, but he’s a dedicated adult improver. We had a wide ranging conversation focusing on coaching, resources, and heroes. Kevin is bringing an interesting approach to his improvement, identifying heroes that match his style. Kevin plays through their games and tries to meld together information from Pachman, My System, and Krammik. It’s a fascinating approach that has me thinking who are my “chess heroes?” Kevin also reflected on his thoughts on coaches. He’s worked with many coaches and finds it important to blend the advice of many experts, rather than just one. Kevin forgot to mention one important piece of his journey during the podcast, he met his best friend Blake over a chess board back in 2014! Chess building friendships is wonderful!
