The Secret to reach a 2000 ELO

Nathan Rose (kiwistoic) is the author of the best-selling books Chess Openings Names 1 & 2.

And also it’s one of my students.

Last week, he reached a 2000 elo!

And I want to share with you the 3 things we did that helped him to go from 1900 to 2000.

The 3 main areas of Nathan’s Training:

1. Opening repertoire: Improving his repertoire helped him to play confidently in multiple situations and avoid traps so he could have good positions in the middle game.

2. Consistency and focus: Since he is a digital entrepreneur and works/travels a lot, we had to create a routine he could follow during the week and adapt to his schedule and lifestyle.

For example, he is doing a small challenge of 50 days of tactics. This has improved not only his tactical skills but also his focus since he finds it easier to think more often about the ideas of his opponents and keep his focus.

3. Remove his Natural Tendencies: So every player has Natural Tendencies (NT) that we need to spot and remove. Nathan had a few like: getting low in time or not converting winning positions.

We are still working on those, but now he can easily convert against lower-rated opponents (1800s).

Now,  you might be thinking: "How can I apply this to my chess?"If you want to improve your chess, you only need to focus on improving 1-3 things.

Notice how I didn't teach Nathan endgames or middlegame theory. I didn't tell him to read this book or improve his calculation skills.

We focused on 3 things.

That's the work of a chess coach, to point you the 2-3 things you need to move things forward.

I'd love to tell you exactly what to do so you can go from your (current elo) to your (ideal elo), but each case is different.

So, I'd like to offer you the chance to have a free Zoom session to discuss your situation and use the same frameworks my students use to achieve great results. If you want, we can discuss the possibility of working together.
