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!
Peter Doggers joined a chess club a month before turning 15 and still plays for it. He used to be an active tournament player and holds two IM norms.
Peter has a Master of Arts degree in Dutch Language & Literature. He briefly worked at New in Chess, then as a Dutch teacher and then in a project for improving safety and security in Amsterdam schools.
Between 2007 and 2013 Peter was running ChessVibes, a major source for chess news and videos acquired by Chess.com in October 2013.
As our Director News & Events, Peter writes many of our news reports. In the summer of 2022, The Guardian’s Leonard Barden described him as “widely regarded as the world’s best chess journalist.”
