The Chess Improvement Equation:
What (0-1) * How (0-1) * Time (h/week) = Chess Improvement Score

The cost of Improvement Destroyers:

• Tilt: -1 for every game played without focus.
• Overthinking: -1 for every hour spent on material way above your level.
• Overblown openings: -1 for every hour wasted on unnecessary theory.

Detract Tilt + Overthinking + Overblown Openings from your Chess Improvement Score, you’ll get your real chess improvement score.

The Chess Improvement Equation:
What (0-1) * How (0-1) * Time (h/week) = Chess Improvement Score

To review your past year, assess each week with the real amount of time you spent on chess, not the amount you hoped you would spend.

The Chess Improvement Equation:
What (0-1) * How (0-1) * Time (h/week) = Chess Improvement Score

The How is scored by adding two different areas:

Your Focus while Training Chess (0-0.5)
+
Training Chess The Right way (0-0.5)

Stats mentioned in the Episode:

• 1 in 3 adults sleeps less than 7 hours per night, reducing cognitive performance drastically
• Globally, 31% of adults do not meet the recommended levels of physical activity, lowering brain function and even risking chronic diseases.
• The average person spends over 7 hours per day on digital media (TV, Phone...), constantly training their brain to get distracted.
