Ep. 231 Evan - Chess Lobster (2150 USCF)

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Evan, the Chess Lobster. This is his third appearance on the show. You can check out his previous appearances on  episodes 48 and 161. We talked about his continual pursuit of the master title. He talked about making simple moves, removing creativity, and focusing on calculation in regular positions. Evan also supplied advice on defeating kids at chess. His most prominent suggestion is to not be intimidated. The kids can smell weakness. Evan also supplied quite a few suggestions for adult improvers.
