013 There’s a small percentage of people who can inspire us to be better at chess. One of those rare folks is FM James Canty III. Few would bet money that a guy in his late 20s could go from National Master to Grandmaster. It’s almost never done.
Why?
Because, like us club players, he grapples with adult responsibilities that make improvement difficult: a full-time job, limited energy, and time.
But James is a powerhouse of positivity, discipline, and a tireless work ethic.
In this interview, James shares:
• The single biggest “non-chess” activity you should do to improve your chess. • The demystifying truth about people who doubt your goals. • The surprising reason James got to be rated 2200 USCF with very little endgame study.
