NM Jeremy Kane is the Curriculum Director for Chess.com. He won the Wisconsin State Championship in 2007 and has worked as a chess teacher/coach/mentor for many years. He last made an appearance on the podcast in July, where he teased a book called "The Next to Last Mistake" which he had been writing for several years. Next month, the book will be released! I invited Jeremy back on the show for a deep dive into the thoughts that went into writing the book. We also talked a bit about the atmosphere and storylines around the World Chess Championship, which is starting next Friday!Having received an advance copy of "The Next to Last Mistake", I can say that it is a fantastic and necessary addition to chess literature. It focuses on skills like resilience and creating complications from a practical and educational standpoint, which are topics that are oft neglected despite being able to impact one's improvement in chess. It's also a book that I think will be very helpful for my own chess improvement. I give the book two thumbs up -- you can pre-order/purchase the book on Amazon now.
