This week on Chess Journeys, JJ Lang stopped by for a conversation about chess improvement. We talked a bit about his own rapid improvement followed by a long plateau. Additionally, we discussed a wide range of topics such as how and when to calculate, the value of coaching, excuses for losses, chasing the IM title, the value of endgame study, and the importance of mastering “easy” tactics.
