Mental Strength, Positivity, & Banning the Haters with FM James Canty

013 There’s a small percentage of people who can inspire us to be better at chess. One of those rare folks is FM James Canty III. Few would bet money that a guy in his late 20s could go from National Master to Grandmaster.It’s almost never done.Why?Because, like us club players, he grapples with adult responsibilities that make improvement difficult: a full-time job, limited energy, and time.But James is a powerhouse of positivity, discipline, and a tireless work ethic.In this interview, James shares: The single biggest “non-chess” activity you should do to improve your chess.The demystifying truth about people who doubt your goals.The surprising reason James got to be rated 2200 USCF with very little endgame study.--------Want to join my exclusive community for adult chess improvers?Chess Improver Monthly offers:Group coaching & game review from titled players to help your chess.Submit guest questions & private episode discussions for The Chess Experience Podcast.Live video chats w/ me & fellow adult improvers to have fun & stay motivated.Much more!Check out all the membership benefits here.---------Where to Find James Canty’s Content: YouTube ChannelTwitch ChannelChess CoursesTwitterInstagramWebsite--------->> Join my official FREE club for The Chess Experience on Chess.com<< (PROMOTION)
