021 Switching Openings & Defeating Rating Plateaus with Daniel Lona
Jun 14, 2022
This week’s format is different.
Every few months, I’ll create a solo episode where I update you on my own chess journey:
The top challenges I’m having, the best insights I’ve gained, and the latest wisdom my coaches, Andras Toth & Dan Heisman, have offered me.
I’ll try to frame it in ways that benefit you, so that you get a heap of value from listening.
This week’s topics:
- Why I no longer play the French Defense and key resources for determining how/when to change your openings.
- The top 3 insights from my coaches that'll help me see some massive rating gains.
- Why dealing with a rating plateau is a true test of character and how I intend to bust through this phase.
