Description
Episode SummaryThis week we go back to 1852 and study one of the most famous matches in chess history: the so-called Evergreen Game.  We cover moves 1-12.    Game AnnotationChessGames: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1018961&comp=1 Video CommentariesAgadmator's Chess Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqzxnz6d7JMThe Chess Website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pueNWLKqqBcKingcrusher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3AILal_FyM About the ShowThis podcast lets you study chess away from the chessboard.  Use your morning commute to improve board visualisation, review combinations, and memorise classic games.  Each week I choose a relatively short classic game and record its annotation, pausing for around thirty seconds in between moves for you to follow the game, consider tactical and strategic changes, and make your own analysis.  (If thirty seconds in between moves isn't enough, simply hit pause until you're ready to continue.)  Before you listen to the episode, watch one of the commentary videos linked in the show notes.  They are some of the best videos the chess community has created and they will make the task of memorisation much easier.  If you feel like you need to improve your board visualisation skills before getting started, the free coordinates trainer on lichess can help with this.   How to SupportYou can head to my Patreon page and make a pledge.  Or if monthly donations aren’t for you, you can also Buy Me A Coffee or donate directly via PayPal.
