I have a question: I already added chapter names with timestamps when I published this video. Did you for some reason not see them and thus added yours? I am just checking whether there is a technical issue I need to fix.

You had me laughing with the pic you showed of Yoko Ono! Anyway, I liked this episode a lot. I will listing it a few times more coming weeks. Thank you both for this episode! It’s great to hear how you, being a great coach, still work on getting better in coaching! And very interesting to hear how rating drops but gains back plus more later. J curve’s! I will take this week time to ponder what to think of some questions to ask for the sport psychologist. I hope there is time before you doing the interview. 35:25 I have exactly the same feeling. Sitting in a library studying, that is really great haha. ‘Chess provides meaning.’ I agree completely! And what he said about needing to win for the team, that is the highest chess pressure I ever had as a kid during a team tournament! Back then I couldn't put it into perspective. And still, I like tension and hardship. Strange right?

Thank you, Mark! Please tell me your questions to the sport psychologist :)

I played the London for about 14 months , decided to change opening knowing I'd drop elo, but it will make me a more "rounded"player.switched to the bishops opening ,give that a go for about a year ,now I will play the scotch for about the same time , knowing I will lose some elo.short term ,but I should be a better player in the long term. It is hard on the ego to lose and drop elo. My attitude is there's loads of players better than me ,but there are loads worse. Watched Eric Rosen lose to a 1000 elo player once .If you love the game that's all that matters. Thanks Doc.

Top man Ono!

Good episode. I agree that ego can have a massive impact on our ability to play. If I'm playing someone much weaker than I am, I feel a lot of pressure to win, which make me play overly aggressive and unsound. If I'm playing someone stronger, I don't feel any pressure to win so my quality of play is often higher.

Thank you, Eli. We will explore similar topics on my next episode with the sport psychologist. Please ask me more if you want.

Great discussion 👏💯 from observations we tend to blunder when winning 😔we play tougher when losing, for openings I tend to play an opening for a month against different levels of strength from computer an familiarize with different positions from the weak to the strong 💥 and the endgames that come up, sometimes we try to learn to much to fast without ever using the information,I tend to study along my mistakes go to relevant theories and positions that caused a loss 🤔as to avoid it in the future, I give myself a tournament against the computer as a practice,in order to measure myself 🎉 great video

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback.

How do you measure something like "resiliency" ... and how do you improve it?
