EP.153 - IM Christof Sielecki returns
1 hour 37 minutes Posted Nov 26, 2019 at 12:00 pm.
The next Perpetual Chess, Chess Books Recaptured will actually be released on December 20. Keep up with the project here:
We dive right into Christof’s great new Chessable course, Fight Like Magnus. Topics include Christof’s research methods, and how he went about sharing it with GM Magnus Carlsen and his trainer, GM Peter Heine Nielsen.
Fellow Chessable author (and recent guest on Perpetual Chess), Han Schut, writes in to ask Christof some questions relating to the Quickstarter Guide in his course, Short and Sweet: The Magnus Sicilian.
What kind of feedback did Christof get from GM Magnus Carlsen and his second, GM Peter Heine Nielsen on his Sicilian course?
Another Patreon supporter of the podcast, writes in to ask what  IM Sielecki thinks of the future role of paper chess books, as opposed to digital chess books? In this segment, Christof also shares a few chess book recommendations.
What Perpetual Chess episodes has IM Sielecki most enjoyed?
-  In what way does Christof think chess books have improved in recent years?
If you are focused on studying endgames, is it better to study the endgame greats, or to learn specific endgames like the Lucena position, etc.?
What was it like to announce a chess event with the legendary GM, Artur Yusopov?
