Nice work if you can get it, but that's not viable for most adult improvers who have responsibilities and commitments outside of chess . My guest this week is Dan Levin, a Long Island Chess Club regular and New York attorney. We discussed what it's like being a tournament player while adulting, among other topics. Some of our talking points include:A thematic analysis of two of our games played at the clubWhy do some 800-rated opponents play like they're 1800?The Caro-Kann opening: 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5Major events vs. local clubs - Which is better?How Dan got to play former world champion Boris SpasskyRating swingsInternet & speed chessOur links:WebsiteTwitterYouTubeFacebookE-mail: info@thechessangle.com
