Let me be clear that I am choosing these books specifically for teachers who give group and private lessons. I also enjoyed and learned quite a bit myself from these books, and so I also hope a reader with no interest in teaching might get something useful from reading them. In doing so, I'm noticing how much I steal from a relatively small collection of books this gave me the idea to write an article detailing which ones these are, in the hopes that the list is useful to other chess teachers. This week I've been getting ready for the new school year, trying to plan (roughly) my year's curriculum. I work in a public junior high school in Brooklyn NY, teaching a mixture of chess and eighth grade English.
Most strong players have had a chess teacher at some point in their lives, and many players, even those who aren't professional educators, teach chess in some form or another.
To my mind, one of the most organic social aspects of chess is teaching, and lately I've been noticing how widespread it is. Of course I enjoy the social parts of chess as well, and they do exist. Playing a tournament game at a slow time control, secure in the knowledge that no one is even allowed to talk to me, is probably (honestly) the only time I'm actually relaxed around other people. (We recently went from 4 episodes to 5 per month, as in addition to weekly interviews, we now feature a monthly book recap podcast called Chess Books Recaptured.) You can find more info about ways to support the show, and about a few perks you get in return for doing so here.Photo Betsy Dynako One of the things I love the most about chess is its profoundly anti-social nature. If you’re a long-time listener, and you can afford it, you could consider joining more than 400 other regular listeners whose financial support helps me to keep improving the podcast and expanding the Perpetual Chess offerings. Nearly 5 years after inception, I am somewhat amazed to report that Perpetual Chess has been downloaded/streamed over 2 million times in over 100 countries! If you’re a first-time visitor then I suggest the 10 episodes below as a starting place. And while an audio only format is not a great way for studying chess, the popular Adult Improver Series show that podcasts are a great format to share inspiring tales of chess improvement success, as well as actionable study tips, and favorite training tools and chess books. I launched the Perpetual Chess Podcast in 2016 because I thought chess fans like myself would enjoy hearing conversations about chess while “on the go.: There were tons of great live chess event and training coverage on a growing list of sites, but I wanted more information on the chess personalities playing those events and presenting the material. Perpetual Chess is hosted by me - Ben Johnson - from our global headquarters, AKA my home in Central New Jersey.
