About this listen
In a world awash in educational chess content, knowing how to study the game most effectively can be challenging.
As the Perpetual Chess Podcast host, USCF Master Ben Johnson has spent hundreds of hours talking chess with many of the world’s top players and most accomplished trainers. In the popular Adult Improver Series, he has spoken with dozens of passionate amateurs who have elevated their games significantly while pursuing chess as a hobby.
Guests like former World Champion Viswanathan Anand and YouTube Stars IM Levy Rozman and GM Hikaru Nakamura have shared insights and told memorable stories. And Ben has learned just as much from the many dedicated amateurs who applied their considerable professional (non-chess) experience to their chess learning.
In Perpetual Chess Improvement, Ben looks for common ground and shared principles in all chess advice given on the podcast. Chess players do not always agree on the best improvement methods, so he even adjudicates a few disagreements! The book will show you the following:
How to approach and study different aspects of the game, including openings, endgames, tactics, tournament games, and speed chess.
How to find a chess coach and a like-minded chess community.
How to properly utilize all the powerful chess study tools available.
Instructive chess positions illustrate the topics discussed.
The guests shared a wealth of beautiful stories, and chess study advice on the Perpetual Chess Podcast. This book compiles the highlights and will help you make a holistic plan for your chess studies.
Ben Johnson is a USCF Master and accomplished chess coach. In 2016, he started the Perpetual Chess Podcast, the most successful chess podcast, with over five million downloads and streams in over a hundred different countries—and counting. Ben grew up in Philadelphia and lives in New Jersey with his family. Before dedicating his life to chess, he was a professional poker player and a stock trader.

Critic reviews
“This is simply a very good book, with so much advice and discussion that every player will find something of value, while the friendly and positive writing leaves you with a good feeling whenever you dip into it!”—GM Matthew Sadler (New In Chess magazine)
The book is well written, and the Author articulates themselves well, all that is lacking is a clear statement of opinion. This book in its current edition could be vastly improved if a revised edition was considered in either of the two formats.
1 - The current format of Point A versus Point B is followed up by a more definitive for/against point by the author. The author, has authority on the matter through obvious knowledge, study and experience on the topics and given that we the reader have purchased the book, are interested in a definitive statement from the author.
2 - If the “find out for yourself” theme is to be continued then the arguments from both sides need to be deepened in presentation and feature more citations.
