Chess Improvement Equation Part 5 Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

The Chess Improvement Equation:
What (0-1) * How (0-1) * Time (h/week) = Chess Improvement Score

The cost of Improvement Destroyers:

Tilt: -1 for every game played without focus.
Overthinking: -1 for every hour spent on material way above your level.
Overblown openings: -1 for every hour wasted on unnecessary theory.

Detract Tilt + Overthinking + Overblown Openings from your Chess Improvement Score, you’ll get your real chess improvement score.

The Chess Improvement Equation:
What (0-1) * How (0-1) * Time (h/week) = Chess Improvement Score

The How is scored by adding two different areas:

Your Focus while Training Chess (0-0.5)
+
Training Chess The Right way (0-0.5)

Stats mentioned in the Episode:

1 in 3 adults sleeps less than 7 hours per night, reducing cognitive performance drastically
