Renowned chess coach and co-founder of the Chess Dojo, IM Kostya Kavutskiy, returns to the podcast! Previously, we talked mostly about how to read annotated game books (Episode 17).

This time, we cover a wide variety of topics. Including:

What new insights the Chess Dojo has learned on helping adult improvers from running their online membership, called “Training Program.”
Kostya’s recent OTB tournament experiences and how he chooses which ones to attend.
His improvement approach for his personal chess goals, including earning the GM title.
Whether the 2024 Candidates tournament had a fair qualifying process (and Kostya’s predictions for who might win.)
Improvements questions from my Twitter followers.
