Description

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Nicholas. He’s a busy family man who gained 500 rating points in the last two years. We talked a lot about his main strategy of cycling tactics. He tried the 7 circles / woodpecker method many times during his life. But in the last 2 years, he has finished it twice. Both times resulted in large rating gains. He also talked about changing his openings to allow for more improvement, endgame work, and examining his games to find out where he is going wrong. Pump Up Your Rating helped him format an improvement program, and he has followed it with great success!
