004 What makes chess improvement so difficult? Crafting a study plan you're confident will work has to be high on the list. In this episode, I dive into what makes a great study plan for any rating level with IM Andras Toth.
Plus, he busts some harmful myths.
Andras is a renowned coach to adults with a blunt, no-nonsense approach to teaching that's refreshing.
He has a highly regarded YouTube channel, plus he's the author of many great courses on Chessable.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• The real reason engine analysis is of limited help to your chess improvement (no matter what your amateur rating is.) • Why it's so important to work with a coach if you want to see long-term progress. • The vital importance of studying annotated games. • A critical, overlooked component to studying tactics that's rarely considered in most people's study plans.
Supplemental Content: "How to Master Calculation? What Difference Can a Coach Make?" - Andras recommends this video to further some of the ideas he talked about in this podcast episode, especially the difference of having a coach.
