Our take on Chess Journeys: Tales of Adult Improvement podcast

Chess Journeys: Tales of Adult Improvement is a weekly podcast hosted by Dr Kevin Scull. His goal is to take newbies through the chess journey and give improvement tips to those already in the game. Being a beginner in chess is not easy. Before getting the hang of it, some concepts have to stick into muscle memory first. This podcast aims at taking a newbie through, step by step up until they get the flow in chess. Knowing the people in chess is another exciting matter. Dr Scull creates a network of chess players in this podcast, thus a distributed knowledge database for beginners and intermediates. He interviews chess players on their journey in chess: the wrong turns, the great moments, and times when one felt like quitting.
