About this Episode

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.
