  • Love the focus on metacognition

    i’m really enjoying the show and the focus on conceptualize. As someone with aphantasiahia I thought visualization was beyond my grasp so I never really tried. Now seeing… or rather getting better at this skill and I can see the impact on my game and elo improvement.

  • Excellent exercices and resources for adult improvers

    Chess is hard. Solving chess puzzles and problems in your mind? Even harder!

    This podcast really forces you to visualize without looking at a board. Regular tactics puzzles become simple and easy, by comparison.

    Think of it as weightlifting or strengthening exercises for your chess brain. Really helps with visualization and calculation.

    Highly recommended, especially for adult improvers.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

❓ Older Brains and Conceptualization (Q&A)
Q: Is there anything in particular I should keep in mind as I work on this at my age?
You may find initial experiences less profound and could rely more on verbal thinking, but consistency is key to overcoming these challenges.
❓ Why Nonsensical Moves? (Q&A)
Q: What's the method in the madness behind including nonsensical moves in chess exercises?
Nonsensical moves are included to enhance working memory training and encourage conceptualization. They help players adapt to unexpected moves from opponents.
❓ Pieces That Don't Move for a Long Time (Q&A)
Q: What can I do about this?
Rayner suggests engaging with exercises that help maintain focus on pieces like bishops and pawns that haven't moved, such as the volcano exercise that emphasizes their potential.
❓ Awareness Tools in Games (Q&A)
Q: Do you generally rely on your intuition to check for four things and spot dormant ideas in your games?
It's important to train these skills intentionally during practice to allow subconscious recognition during games.
❓ Staying in Control of Intuition (Q&A)
Q: How do you avoid reaching too much cognitive ease when your intuition switches your brain off?
Aiden suggests maintaining a balance between intuition and reasoned thinking, being aware of cognitive ease, and shifting focus to identifying potential threats to avoid complacency during chess.
