Great episode, always nice to hear Sam speak

[@TheMaestromMephisto]

41:17 best advice ever, most amateurs think choosing the ultimate best opening its the way to improve, its actually not, calculation its the way to go

[@alias9731]

Always a treat to listen to Mr. Shankland

Great questions. Generous answers. BTW: Hot-housed kids (intense education from aged 2 or 3) get far ahead of their peers. But their peers catch them up, around 18. We do have a ceiling, whether we get there fast or slow.

can you please do podcast with Alex Yermolinsky pls

I think Sam is underrating puzzle rush for building pattern recognition. They are "shallow", but when you start calculating and you need to see tactics 3-4 moves into the line, it eases the task tremendously. Yeah, I can solve mate in twos by just calculating, but throw me a few moves into the past and I'm unlikely to see it unless I've done the pattern recognition.

When Magnus was killing it some 2-3 years ago, Sam said it's only because Magnus is stealing his prep 😂😂😂

Sam has a striking resemblance to Barack Obama

[@clutchcs]

I really want to see it but I just cant

[@JStack]

@@clutchcs his speech is very similar. Cadence, pitch, etc. just missing a pointed thumb while talking with his hand. Appearance, not so much

[@TheMaestromMephisto]

he seems frustrated that some guys are more talented than him and he has to compesate that by working hard

[@vixr9557]

agree rapid is no good

[@evanling7570]

Still can’t believe Sam played the french in the most important game of his life 🫢

[@DrSergioValdez]

I agree...
