Chess is one of the most mentally demanding sports. To play well we need to be constantly analyzing, remembering, and anticipating. At the same time, we need to be managing our emotions, remaining focused, and staying confident. To play well we must have a strong mental game. Yet, the psychology behind how we play our best is an area that isn't covered often in books and few chess players actively work on their mental game. We strengthen our openings, tactical knowledge, strategical awareness, and our endgame technique ... but not our mental game which is the foundation of every move we make.

The Chess Mind podcast explores all the aspects of the chess player's mental game and provides practical ways to strengthen your game.
