Adult Improver Pod: How To Make Progress with Limited Time & Should Club Players Coach? w/ Ono

089 It’s rare to see an adult club player make a career in chess. This week’s guest, Ono, has done just that. He started like many of us: inspired to dive into the game after watching the Queen’s Gambit. Which progressed into working studiously on his chess.

Then, he embarked upon a chess blog, called The Ono Zono. Not long after the blog gained traction, Ono started coaching beginners.

Since then, he’s developed a roster of students, appeared on several chess podcasts, and continues to create content for the adult improver community.

In this episode, we discuss:

• 3 strategies for managing limited study time as an adult so you can still make progress. • Why tackling difficult puzzles too early in your chess journey can be a mistake. • The top trait Ono observed in his most successful chess students.
