Ep. 26: Learning & Improving feat. FM Roger LaFlair

For this interview episode, I spoke with Fide Master Roger LaFlair. Roger teaches high school chemistry and chess at a private school here on Long Island in NY. He also has an active roster of private chess students. Roger can be reached at rlaflair@gmail.com. We touched on a variety of topics regarding tournament play and chess improvement. Some of our talking points include:

  • The dangers of "me chess"
  • Awareness of your opponent's ideas
  • Avoiding impulsivity & impatience
  • The London System for club/amateur players
  • Chess education
