The Toaster and Kettle Chess Academy - XI

 

Squeezing in some chess where I can.

It’s been one of those weeks.

One of those weeks when work - paid work -  takes over and chess has to take a back seat.

So for today I’ll just say this: I’ve just  recently discovered the Against the Rules podcast. It’s all good, but Season Two, dedicated to coaching and the rise of coaching in the past couple of decades, I particularly liked.

It’s not about chess. Our game isn’t even given a passing mention. Still I think it’s well worth a listen for anyone with an interest in improving as an adult.
