Make it Stick Review & Discussion- What Should Chess Improvers Know about the Science of Learning?

[@bluefin.64]

This kind of content is highly useful. It doesn't matter at all that the book is not about chess, because it pertains to improvement of any kind.

Good to hear, thanks!

[@ortheother]

Completely agree!

On the subject of directed verses random themed chess problems - there is a place for both. I guess the themed puzzles are a kind of deliberate practice which is necessary for skill development.

Erik allebest is right, only idiots think cheating in any way affects their long term results.

This is a big complaint of mine for so many opening courses on Chessable: there are an incredibly high amount of moves that don't get explained. One example is Wesley So's 1.e4 course that I studied for one opening, in which all the gambits are totally unexplained. I'll go check what people said about the position and its other people also asking why no explanation is given, since we should always expect gambits to be accepted, but Wesley So gave no explanation. If there are no explanations, how are you supposed to remember the moves? What the guest said about it being how much you retain is what is important rings true to me. I "studied" a lot of openings last year and can't remember any of it. This year, I want to focus on less, but learn it better. The one author that actually does a superb job of explaining moves is Ganguly for his Nimzo/Semi-Tarrasch course, and its no surprise its gotten all 5/5 review on Chessable.

In addition to Ganguly, there are lots of good authors who do a good job explaining opening moves- Sielecki, Banzea, Robert Ramirez. But its true that Super GMs sometimes "don't know what they don't know"

I'm obssesed with this book, almost finiched it! So this was the fastest click to a video I've ever done. I hope this was the missing piece for me to get back to my highest ELO (2163). Been trying to achieve it as an adult improver.. Let me listen to your video...
