Like everything, it feels like it’s a new game, new territory, every single time. And that takes a lot of learning and a lot of patience to do all of that again,” Griffin said Sunday on “NewsNation Prime.” “It’s been a hard process of learning how to walk, learning how to talk, and also learning how to redo chess. The teen had to relearn how to walk, talk and speak. Through many uncertainties, Griffin’s love for the game remained. Griffin’s medical journey has included intense procedures to help treat severe seizures and a disease that disconnected the left side of his brain. The 17-year-old from Golden, Colorado, is now a national chess master - just one year after undergoing his fourth brain surgery. Everything else will vary from person to person.( NewsNation) - It’s a game of strategy and brain power, and Griffin McConnell started playing it when he was 4 years old. The material overall is good, that's all you can expect. Has it helped me become a better player? Not sure. Very different from many other chess books obviously tactic books are the same, but we have endgame in here, strategy, positional play. It's very straighforward, very limited explanations, focus on actually doing stuff, not reading. Still I would like to state that I very much enjoyed it. That's a thing to keep in mind, Yusupov wasn't able to streamline the level of difficulty, it is varying a lot. Some chapters are very easy and should not be a problem for a 1400 rapid usually, others will prove (much) more challenging.
The final test was easy imo, the examples given in the chapters often have been much harder. Final test with best grade, although not quite perfect score. At that time I was highly motivated, went through 1 chapter each day usually, finished it in just a month. They are for calculation purposes, but I don't know, sometimes everything is winning, but you have to find the stupid mate in 2, which is quite infuriating imo.Īpart from that I believe I started studying the first book when I was around 1600-1700 rapid, I did very good, but I took my time. These are very artificial and have nothing to do with your usual mate in 2. There will be a few chapters that will prove very hard, but, I can't help but feel they are hard for me at 1900 blitz still, mainly talking about the infamous mate in 2 chapter. Perhaps best to look at available online samples and come to one's own conclusion.ġ400 rapid? Tough, but possible. I probably got the estimate a bit wrong, but at least I tried." - GM Yusupov
This was quite hard to evaluate and some of the material shoots over the target of 1500 etc. I wonder if "one of the best trainers in the world" has a lot of experience with players near 1000.
