Chess Journeys: Tales of Adult Improvement
A podcast dedicated to the journey of adult chess improvement. Each week a guest will join me to discuss what has worked for them, what hasn't worked as well, and the status of their journey.
Inspirational!

This is a brilliant podcast which makes the world of amateur chess - the realm that most chess players inhabit - fully to life. At the urging of my grandson, I took up online chess in the wake of the pandemic and it has become my passion, displacing golf. Disclosure: I am not an “adult improver”, as I turned 80 last month. I suppose you might call me an “elderly improver”. I had to chuckle when the host complained of slowing calculation speed after age 47. Believe me, it slows to a crawl if you live into your 80’s. The beauty of chess is that it doesn’t matter, there are always opportunities to explore the depths of this wonderful game.
Can Bruce do it?

Bruce Neal makes so much sense. I recently just got into chess at 45. I’m not delusional but I am so sick of the “you can’t do it culture.” I’d rather listen to reasons how you can then reasons why you can’t. Episode 24 with Kevin Perrera was great in 2021… bring him back!
Very helpful and friendly chess adult

Fills a unique gap in chess learning material

Informative. Fun. I learn something from each episode and moreover the vibe from this podcast is so definitively positive. Keep up the great work.
Underrated Learning Platform
02/15/2024
This show is underrated simply bc if nothing else just from listening you learn so much about the chess world including different books, strategies, and ways to learn and what the community is like and how it feels to go to a tournament. If feels good to hear the stories of how people may have gotten discouraged or persevered through a tough time in their journey. It creates a shared connection for all of us and allows us to grow and learn together plus you learn a lot about the different philosophies and theories in chess that people develop and it can help you develop your own theory for your own practice.
Great podcast for adult improvers!

I have jumped back into playing chess as an adult improver and I love to listen to this podcast to hear how people approach improving. Kevin is a really good interviewer and I love the variety of guests. It is also helpful to hear the books or online resources that people use. This podcast is so good that I jumped back to episode #1 and I am listening from the beginning :-)
Awesome

I like this show!

Kevin is a great interviewer, and for someone like me who recently came back to chess, it's inspiring to hear his guests' stories. I met Kevin this week at the North American Open in Las Vegas and he was also super friendly and gracious (in spite of having just let a win slip away). Always weird to meet a podcaster because their "show voice" is actually just their real voice. Go Kevin, and go Forest!
Adult improvers you can relate to
12/29/2023
Adult improvement episodes were my favorite part of the perpetual chess podcast, so needless to say, when I discovered chess journeys I was ecstatic. Kevin, the host, solely interviews players I myself can better relate to and does so in an engaging and inquisitive manner. Always look forward to my weekly listen of this wonderful chess podcast.
Great Show, best chess podcast!

A really awesome show, always interesting and informational. A MUST listen, it’s great to hear other chess players journeys!
