EP 436- Adult Improver Torkil Jara Bårdsgjerde on How Workplace Trash Talk Sparked a Lifelong Passion for Chess  In this inspiring and relatable installment of the Adult Improver Series, we meet  Torkil Jara Bårdsgjerde, a 39-year-old father of two, from Norway who discovered competitive chess after a bit of playful banter with a workplace rival. That exchange sparked a fascination with the game—and when the pandemic hit shortly after, Torkil suddenly had the time to dive in. Five years later, he's a regular tournament competitor and recently completed an impressive FIDE rating jump from 1400 to 1800 in just one year. In our conversation, Torkil shares his favorite resources and offers thoughtful advice on how to make the most of limited chess time. He also reflects on how chess has influenced his off-the-board habits—from health and mindfulness to goal-setting—and why he hopes his chess journey is still just beginning.

El soviético Mark Taimánov no solo fue uno de los más destacados ajedrecistas del siglo XX, también brilló como uno de los mejores pianistas de la historia de la música. Sin embargo, la crónica del noble juego lo recuerda por haber sufrido una humillante derrota (6-0) contra Bobby Fischer en la carrera por el título del mundo. Hoy, en ‘Cuentos, jaques y leyendas’, Roberto López y Manuel Azuaga desempolvan la vida y obra de Taimánov, un niño prodigio con una vida de película, en el sentido literal de la expresión. En 1937, con solo 11 años, Taimánov protagonizó la película 'El concierto de Beethoven', un film de corte estalinista en el que dos chicos reciben clases para convertirse en virtuosos del violín. De la noche a la mañana, se convirtió en un héroe nacional. Lo que aún no podía imaginar el joven Taimánov es que, poco después, alcanzaría la gloria entre blancas y negras, sentado delante de un piano y sobre un tablero de ajedrez. En ‘Enroque corto’ charlamos con el maestro FIDE mexicano Jorge Ramírez, a propósito de su nuevo libro ‘El supermanual de ajedrez’, recién publicado por Editorial Diéresis. Y, en ‘La gran diagonal’, recibimos la pregunta del ilusionista Ernesto y Pico. Escucha todos nuestros podcast aquí.

El jugador soviético fue, quizás, el más rápido de todos los tiempos. Sus partidas duraban 15 o 20 minutos, igual daba si tenía o no ventaja en la posición. Y su talento era extraordinario. Sin embargo, debido a unas antiguas reglas de la FIDE, Stein nunca pudo optar al título de campeón del mundo, un honor que bien hubiera merecido. Hoy, en ‘Cuentos, jaques y leyendas’, revisamos la azarosa vida de Leonid Stein, un ajedrecista maldito, a quien Gari Kaspárov definió como «una estrella distinguida». Y es que Stein tuvo un pasar breve, una vida 'blitz' en la que perdió la partida de golpe, a los 38 años. En ‘Enroque corto’, charlamos con el bailaor y coreógrafo Gero Domínguez, quien recién estrena su espectáculo ‘Peón coronado’. En el universo de ‘Peón Coronado’, las piezas de ajedrez cobran vida en un espectáculo multidisciplinar donde el baile flamenco y la danza contemporánea son protagonistas.

Five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen and the chess world's governing body FIDE were embroiled in a public spat until a few days ago. Carlsen, in collaboration with a German businessman, Jan Henric Buettner, has launched a new chess tour, titled the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam, and FIDE objected to their use of the term ‘Word Championship', which it believes undermines FIDE's exclusive right to that sort of branding. Things got ugly as they exchanged allegations and counter-allegations on social media. But the conflict, for the time being, has been put on pause, with the Freestyle organisers agreeing not to use the term ‘world championship' for the first ten months. The Freestyle Tour, which will see a different format of games compared to classical chess, kicked off on February 7 in Weissenhaus, Germany. What is the Freestyle Grand Slam all about? What is at stake here for Carlsen, FIDE and the other major entities in the chess world? Is there a chance of this new format displacing classical chess in the future? Guest: P.K.

In this episode, FM Dalton and Varun dive into their New Year chess resolutions and discuss the importance of setting goals and sticking to them. They share their personal objectives for the year, explore common pitfalls, and emphasize the role of consistency and minimalism in achieving meaningful progress. Takeaways Resolutions should be framed as flexible goals to avoid feeling "all or nothing." Focus on progress over streaks—resume when you fall off, rather than quitting entirely. Simplifying goals can improve focus and prevent burnout. Limiting multitasking during training sessions leads to better learning and results. Sound Bites "Resolutions often feel binary—if you break it, you think you've failed. But the goal should be to pick up where you left off." – Varun "Aiming for small, manageable improvements helps build consistency over time." – FM Dalton "Multitasking is the enemy of focus; real progress comes when you're fully present." – Varun Chapters [00:00] - Introduction Recap of last episode's controversies around the World Blitz Championship Topic introduction: Chess-related New Year's resolutions [01:10] - Varun's Approach to Resolutions Varun's "goals over resolutions" philosophy Key goal: Completing five chess tactics daily, even if consistency lapses [04:00] - Dalton's Rating Goals and Training Plan Dalton outlines his rating goals (USCF 2375, FIDE 2250, chess.com 2700 Blitz) Emphasis on daily tactics, in-game studies, and playing more tournaments [08:00] - The ‘Momentum' Tracker Overview of Varun's web app "Momentum" for tracking activities with weekly goals Dalton's ambitious eight-row habit list and Varun's advice to simplify [12:50] - Minimalism and Decluttering for Focus Varun's minimalist setup: Limiting books and training materials to just three core resources The impact of decluttering digital spaces for mental clarity [16:26] - Single-Tasking to Improve Focus Varun's proactive attempt to reduce multitasking and stay focused during training Reflections on how multitasking diminishes engagement and progress [19:00] - Advice for Adult Improvers Stick to one course or resource for a set period before switching Avoid information overload by committing to a single plan for several months [22:28] - Conclusion Recap of the importance of sticking to manageable goals Encouragement to prioritize depth over breadth when pursuing chess improvement

35-year old GM Alex Lenderman was a World Youth Champion and has won the World Open among many other  chess accomplishments, but he had never previously had the chance to play in the FIDE World Rapid & Blitz. Since it took place in his hometown this year, Alex looked at the opportunity to compete in it as “a once in a lifetime opportunity.”  But since Alex is no longer a professional player and has been losing rating points in recent years he worried about how he would perform. In this interview, Alex takes us behind the scenes of his preparation (or lack thereof), how he adjusted his mindset as an amateur player, what he thought of the venue, and how he dealt with the inevitable ups and downs of two exhausting tournaments. This particular story has a happy ending, as after a decent showing in the World Rapid Alex performed even better in the World Blitz, beating GMs Sam Shankland, Le Quang Liem and others en route to shared 14th place! Not bad for “an adult decliner” as Alex called himself. Of course, Alex also touched on some of the recent controversies in the chess world, and discussed how much players knew about sagas like “jeans gate as they unfolded” It was a real treat to hear a top players perspective on this dram-filled tournament. Timestamps of topics discussed are below.  Mentioned: A LiChess study containing Alex's games is here: https://lichess.org/study/dcY6zUKo/5k02uMvC And as always,  you can download all of the tournament's games from Mark Crowther's The Week in Chess: https://theweekinchess.com/chessnews/events/world-rapid-blitz-championship-2024 0:02- GM Alex Lenderman joins!

In the chess world, the holiday season means its almost time for one of the most entertaining tournaments of the year- The FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Championship. This year's championship events are star-studded affairs featuring GM Magnus Carlsen, GM Hikaru Nakamura, GM Alexandra Kosteniuk and a litany of big-name challengers. For the first time, these events will be taking place in New York CIty, and I will be attending the event and subsequently covering them here on Perpetual Chess. Joining me to discuss the tournament are two wildcard participants. First up (9:00)  is the ever-popular Youtuber and Twitch streamer, IM Eric Rosen. Among other topics, IM Eric Rosen shares how he got the opportunity to play in the tournament, discusses whether he feels any apprehension about potentially tangling with so many world-class players, and discusses how he prepares for such an event. Eric joined me just after returning from the World Championship in Singapire, so he also reflects on that experience as well. Following Eric, I am joined by FM Alisa Melekhina (35:00) . Alisa was one of the top players her age as a scholastic player, and is now a litigation partner at an NYC-based law firm. Alisa explains why she couldn't resist the opportunity to participate in the Women's Rapid Championship despite a busy professional life. Alisa co-founded the New York City Corporate Chess League and she also shares the background on that thriving endeavor.  As always, I enjoyed chatting with Eric and Alisa, and look forward to watching them compete in this marquee event.  If you would like to help support Perpetual Chess via Patreon, you can do so here: https://www.patreon.com/c/perpetualchess Learn more about your ad choices.

It is World Championship season again! The FIDE World championship takes place from November 25 to December 13, in Singapore. As you probably know, GM Ding Liren will be defending his title against 18 year old wunderkind, GM Gukesh D.

How does Ding's recent play differ from that of “peak Ding?”   Author of From Boy to Man to Challenger: The Fiercest Battles of Gukesh D ,  IM Cyrus Lakdawala on why he thinks Gukesh has a chance to be an all-time great.  Statistician, and co-founder of Chessgoals.com, NM Matt Jensen on the betting markets, the likelihood of a tiebreak, and one key statistical factor that favors Gukesh.  Chatting about the World Championship always gets me excited for the match, and this year is no exception.

“Coming back to classical chess was the best decision of my life.” IM-elect Selim Citak came out of semi-retirement on a whim a few years ago needing one more norm and some more FIDE rating points in order to earn the IM title. Selim quickly discovered that adjustments were necessary, as his rating plummeted from over 2300 to 2150 while he grappled with the stronger new generation of chess players. Through hard work, sacrifice, and psychological adjustments, Selim turned things around and gained the 250 FIDE points and final norm necessary to earn the IM title at age 39! In our conversation, Selim shares his remarkable story, along with plenty of chess improvement advice. Selim is very active in the Turkish chess scene as an author, Chessable author and commentator, and joined me just after attending the Olympiad as a second to young star GM Yagiz Erdogmus. Selim also shared what makes he and GM Ediz Gurel such special talents, and why Turkey is a potential rising chess power.

The Adult Improver Series of Perpetual Chess returns, as I am joined by Solveig Friberg, who streams on Twitch as “The Rookie Redhead.” Solveig is a relatively new chess player who discovered the game via a Norwegian national TV broadcast of one of Magnus Carlsen's World Championship matches. A few years later, she has attained a rating of 1570 FIDE, built a large online audience, published her first Chessable course (Breaking 1000)  as a Twitch streamer, and has even had the opportunity to interview players like Hikaru Nakamura and Fabiano Caruana. We begin our conversation by discussing the unique popularity of chess in Norway- it is very popular as a spectator sport, but that has not translated into a thriving competitive chess scene. Why might that be? We also discuss Solveig's own chess journey.  Solveig shares a lot of study recommendations and core beliefs based on her experience as a chess player and her professional background as an educator. Solveig is a particularly firm believer in the importance of finding a community, and did not see her chess take off until she found online “chess people.” Solveig is an inspiration for anyone who is coming to chess as a working adult with a busy life.  Thanks to our sponsors Chessable.com- in addition to Solveig's course, be sure to check out GM Sam Shankland's latest, and if you sign up for Chessable Pro, please use the link below. https://www.chessable.com/pro/?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=benjohnson&utm_campaign=pro 2:00- Solveig got into chess by watching coverage of the Magnus-Nepo match on national TV in Norway.
