039 How Emotions an Cost You a Game with Daniel Lona

Another chess journey update from your favorite podcast host!

Every few months, I serve up a solo show that offers my latest insights and struggles, all from my hard-working path toward improvement.

But this isn’t just an audio “chess diary.”

I try to bring everything back to lessons we can all use and learn from. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode:

• Why emotions caused an avoidable & heartbreaking loss in my recent OTB tournament.
• Does a recent 200-point blitz rating increase suggest my chess will soon improve in other areas?
• The four biggest contributors to my chess improvement over the past 18 months.
• How OTB tournaments are fueling my fire to become a better chess player.
