Chess improvement according to GM Jonathan Rowson

Today I present the second interview I did on Saturday, May 26th which was with GM Jonathan Rowson. He had finished his last round game against Hedinn Steimgrimsson about an hour before but despite his draw which probably should have been a win, I caught him in a good mood. The interview is about which of his three books he liked writing most, about future plans in writing, about chess improvement in general, about the secret behind his own successes (three times British champion), about practicing decision making, and about his last book Chess for Zebras. At the end you see a few small fragments of his lecture he did in Porto Mannu. Enjoy!
Here you’ll find some comments on Chess for Zebras from reviews. The book itself can be ordered here.
CU tomorrow, when we’ll have GM Mihail Marin on the show!
Thanks for this nice video of GM Jonathan Rowson! I have the “Chess For Zebras” book by Jonathan Rowson and it is truly great! Everyone should consider buying and reading his books to help your game.
Gracias por la entrevista del, por lo visto, muy inteligente GM Jonathan Rowson. Pon mas de esas, por favor!
Peter,
In een zeer korte tijd is dit een van mijn favoriete schaak-websites geworden.
Prachtig werk bij Corus!
Fraaie interviews met Aagaard en Rowson (3 zeer mooie boeken op zijn conto!).
Keep up the good work!
100 Euro for someone who sees me online at this site from now….
Good site though.. keep going!
Thank you very much for posting this, I’ve read all of Mr. Rowson’s books and I think he has a lot to bring us.
Thanks for sharing this. I have read Rowson’s last two books and found them unique. It is very rare to find a good chess player writing so honestly and sharing his deepest thoughts and knowledge about the game. Thanks Jonathan.
Thanks for the book recommendations. I will start with the Chess for Zebras. Sounds funny!
