Chess Journeys: Tales of Adult Improvement

• Ep. 194 Derek (1865 FIDE)

  This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke to Derek. He’s a 50’s chess player who has recently returned to the game after a 22 year hiatus. We talked a lot about what he is getting out of chess, and what his expectations are. We also chatted about his international travels with chess taking him to Scotland and the Reykjavik Open. Derek has won several tournaments, and we discussed the decision to play up or not. This is a great interview for anyone thinking about playing chess as we move on in years.You can contact Derek at:@tikariofet.bsky.socialMy Chessable Course!https://www.chessable.com/chess-journeys-tactics-workbook-turning-knowledge-into-skill/course/268850/Chessnut Link/Code: Code - KEVINSCULLhttps://www.chessnutech.com?sca_ref=7643464.HueBIKWTYEGet 20% off GM Noël Studer's courses with Coupon chessjourneys20The Simplified Chess Improvement System: https://courses.nextlevelchess.blog/courses/simplified-chess-improvement-system?ref=04f5d8My Road to 2200 Youtube series: https://youtu.be/BzKYDt5oBU8Be sure to check out the Chess Journeys Merch Store!
