📢 Why this Newsletter?
While my website, mattplayschess.com, remains a personal journey through the captivating landscape of chess, the MattPlaysChess Newsletter takes it a step further. Here, I'll delve into the more captivating aspects of chess I come across, sharing with you the discoveries, thoughts, and experiences that make this game so endlessly fascinating.
🔍 What to Expect
My primary aim is to bring forth the more captivating facets of chess that I come across during our journey. Here's a sneak peek of what awaits you in our upcoming editions:
1. Book Reviews: There are countless chess improvement books out there and I will not review almost any of them. Instead, I will focus on books that I find interesting that are “chess adjacent.” These could be books about mindset, psychology, or learning and how I use them to think about my chess.
2. Study Methods That Work For Me: I’ve tried so many ways to improve at chess like Chess Dojo, Aimchess, ChessMood, Chess Steps, Puzzle Rush, No Blitz, All Blitz, and much more. If I find something that actually seems to work, I’ll write about it.
3. Tournament Recaps: Want to know what it is like playing in the untamed Wild West of beginner sections of tournaments? I’ll let you know.
