088 Discussing Strategy for Club Players With IM Thomas Willemze
Apr 23, 2024
Like many chess subjects, knowing what to study for strategy is a bit murky.
Especially if you’re a semi-confused club player like myself.
So, who better to chat with about this topic than an author who has written three books on the subject?
Welcome today’s guest: IM Thomas Willemze.
Over the past six years, Thomas has published three popular books and several courses on the subject of strategy, all specifically aimed at the club player.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why it’s helpful to study both master and amateur games to improve your strategy knowledge.
- Why Thomas chose less common strategy ideas for his foundational book on the subject (like exchanging pieces and utilizing your rooks.)
- The benefits of studying the games of the most recent world champions.
