One of the most informative videos about learning -- not just chess, but anything. It struck me watching this that making abstract knowledge personal is what we mean when we say that we know something "by heart." This may be why historically folklore and moral myth exists ... when we see/hear a story we identify with characters in it and it becomes personal and therefore meaningful to us. It "sticks" to us.
I agree with your method and style of approach to chess. We need mini goals we can recognize to guide us to improving our position and hopefully winning the game.
Great discussion 🎉 what I understand as well as experience,is that the WHYs allow the brain to develop a relationship with new information,also in my early years of chess only if knowledge could be use in ones game then it sticks, example,if you can get an outpost and don't know what it means and how to use and apply,the brain rejects that piece of information,chess has to be learnt on many fronts at the SAME time, learning through discovery, learning by APPLYING theory in ones game, great video 👏🎉
The opening is just a door. You walk through it and find the amazing world that awaits behind it. This is a twofold circumstance. On one hand, you don't want to get stuck to the doorway. On the other hand, using the door is the only way to go out to play the middlegame and/or endgame. 😁
Great stuff. I do want to say that the Silman endgame book is great but it just doesn't register for me. Your Crimes and Punishment course helped me loads with my endgames despite it not being it's main focus. Can you make courses on calculus next because I'm going back to school lol

Lovely feedback, thank you so much!
This interview has so much wisdom in it! Thank you so much for that episode.
Indeed, the IPM (Insights Per Minute) was quite high here.

37:20 Fascinating to see two chess players discussing a position without even seeing the board.
Thank you for your contribution to chess community
My pleasure, thank you for your kind feedback.

Love it! Good analogy.

Sir when are you going to start a speedrun? Please start soon ❤
As a coach, the most common advice I give my students time and time again is to calculate 3 ply all the time
Good advice!
Players around 1400elo in calculation focus more on what the opponent cant do rather than what the opp can do
The opening rant about Chessable is misguided imo. That's the fault of players, not a website.
Where was that? I had to go back and try to find it, but couldn't.
@@ChessWithMouselip It's at 19:00 or so
@@michaelf8221 Thanks, it is a complaint, but not where I would characterize it as a rant.
35 min mark prolly most poignant moment. "Ownership" makes it 'stick" the info/knowledge).
That was a good one indeed!
