Simplifying Openings & Chasing the GM Title as an Adult w/ GM Alex Colovic Artwork

The Chess Experience

Chess improvement as an adult is harder than it should be. Plus, the journey can sometimes feel too stressful and serious. This show aims to fix that by 1) interviewing experts who can offer clarity on the best ways to improve; and 2) giving you a heap of fun with “chess entertainment” shows that discuss chess culture, events, movies, etc. Most episodes feature a guest, but sometimes I'll do a solo show on a topic. This is all brought to you by me, Daniel Lona. I’m a dedicated chess amateur and the owner of Adult Chess Academy. After listening to this podcast, I want you to have a clearer idea of how to improve, and have a more fun, dynamic chess experience. Please follow the show so you don’t miss an episode!

August 23, 2022 • Episode 31

031 Making chess simple for club players isn’t easy. But GM Alex Colovic has a special ability to do just that. It’s why his opening courses are known for simple, clear instruction...

How Alex is able to simplify opening theory is one of the key points we discuss in this episode.

The other great topic we discuss is that Alex strived for years in his 30s to earn the GM title - a rare feat at that age.

His story is an inspiration with key lessons for all of us, no matter our rating.

In this episode:

Why you should play your preferred style (with one caution.)
How Alex makes opening theory simple to learn.
2 qualities from Bobby Fischer that inspired Alex’s chess.
