LOVE the topic. 100% with David over Jesse on Magnus's choice not to play. If this is a death match and an insane format. Change the format. We need less broken WC's and a more realistic challenge. Also the soviet WC players did not not talk publicly, no info does not mean they are sane... Finally Tal had health and drug issues and burned out like an exploding star. He did not make the list... Mental health and physical health needs to be central to training. Add these to the dojo study plans.

Okay, dumb, off point question, but I've always been extremely curious: What languages did the old masters speak? I gather Steinitz as an ethnic-German Czech obviously spoke German, and also English, but what about, say Nimzowitsch? Did he speak Latvian, German, Danish... all of the above? What about Reti? Rubinstein? Polish, and Yiddish I assume, but what about Dutch (when in Antwerp)? Perhaps in the "old days," with changing/fluid borders in Europe, a language like German would have been a lingua franca in western and central Europe. But what about eastern European chess players? At international tournaments, for example, how did Russian players converse with the westerners? We all know that Alekhine (and of course the Cuban legend Capablanca) spoke excellent English, but what was that environment like "pre UN"?

I suggest two other Polgar books are far better. His "Chess Middlegames" has 4,158 real positions from real games, grouped in 77 middlegame themes. That's 54 positions to solve for each theme, which teaches you to recognize theme patterns. The solutions are included. Every position is from a real game, and you can realistically foresee encountering them in your own games (unlike "Chess: 5,334 Problems"). His book "Chess Endgames" has 4,560 positions grouped in 171 themes. He usually gives you 24 positions for each theme, with solutions. These books are, I believe, far better for learning and improving than Polgar's better known "Chess: 5,334 Problems". They were never marketed widely, thus most players never heard of them. For me, most positions in "Chess: 5334 Problems" are unrealistic and even ridiculous. I never purchased it. I think the two books I'm endorsing are available in eBook. The hardcovers are great, but hard to find and insanely expensive. I'm glad to have both, but I found them years ago when they were cheaper. I believe them to be the two best instructive compilation books ever written.

This is really helpful. The idea of starting at the very basics seems to be lacking with most content. You’ve got to crawl before you can walk. Finding a hanging rook is a much simpler task than finding a skewer or removing a defender or whatever. But is a crucial foundation for you to build the more advanced skills on later.

Just what I am looking for to start teaching my 5 3/4 y/o grandson . I can teach him the rules of chess, but what to do for a six year old ? You can’t start with opening principals nor even simplest tactical chess problems. That book seems to hit it. “ Don’t hang your pieces AND take the free stuff”. I have fond memories of my beginner IA Horowitz chess book, but I don’t think it will fly with a six year old.

Grabbed this book- more specifically, the Chessable course- on the Dojo's recommendation and I wholeheartedly endorse it. Learned a bunch of stuff from KZread videos and stuff back in the day but EFCW is what really gave me a solid base of tactics. If you're a beginner or are one of those stubborn folks who wants to call themself a "early-intermediate," you'll get value out of this book: there'll be a few chapters you blow through but you'll eventually get into stuff you didn't know or really needed a thorough education on because all the chess KZreadrs never actually told you about it. One major plus to the Chessable version of the book: you'll be haunted by your mistakes and failures over-and-over until you get them right. Even now, over a year after getting the book, I'll occasionally unarchive EFCW and have a few variations ready for review because I stumbled over them the first/second time through and sometimes I'll even get caught by one problem or another so I know I'll have to come back and review again soon. If you don't mind the Chessable format, I'd recommend the course- plus, even the free videos included with the course help a bit.

I have opening courses for e4 and caro that I study just so I don't get in a losing position to begin with but when people my level play non-ideal moves, I have zero methods for punishing because I tend to just want to make my normal moves to get to a position I'm comfortable with. I see it in my analysis of my games and I am trying to get better.
