Manage episode 378350962 series 3512799
Ono (@TheOnoZone) talks to himself about his first experiences with OTB after only playing chess online + encourages other Adult Improvers to join their local chess club.
In this episode:
[2:10] My first experience of OTB with GM Anish Giri + GM Jorden van Foreest
[7:32] How dealing with the 3D pieces affected my play + what I'm doing to improve my OTB board vision
[13:31] My introduction to human emotion at the chessboard
[18:10] Overthinking my opponent's reactions
[20:19] How I subconsciously tried to hide my self-consciousness
[24:34] Real board logistics + how to use this in your favour
[29:32] Why my OTB opponent underestimated me
[31:42] How performance factors like mental resilience are way more important in OTB with long time controls than online
