If you take with the queen, then the loose rook on d2 becomes a hanging piece on d2,

right? So to my mind, that's a tactical analysis because something logical must flow, right? Two aspects to that.

First of all, yes, I sort of agree.

And it is very valuable to be very quick to have that realization when you see rook b8.

But...

It is just noise if you don't see Rook B8.

And people here can play back our two descriptions of the thought method in this position here, because your...

It's positioned very quickly, yeah? So that's a huge thing.

That's great.

Which, which is, which, which is, which is lovely and is very early in the book.

Um, it's also structured very differently.

So it's five chapters.

First, it's, uh, Garry's personal experiences with Tal.

Then it's a biography.

Then it's, uh, Tal's strengths.

You can make it searchable using AI tools." Um, so he's just curious ab- about plans for the digital version.

[laughs]

Um, so, so that's very useful.

What I often recommend to people is if they wanna do something like Le Chess, you go in and put your rating at -300 and, uh, turn off the rating change, so it doesn't, like, artificially get you back to the same rating.

But have the exercises at -300 and then, like, once every month, maybe take a test where you turn the rating on and just see, uh, your rating go up, and then you turn it off again for a month or two.

Um, and, and this is especially useful if you're a really weak, uh, player, if you're very early on in, in playing, because then the, the huge quantity of puzzles there helps you.

Um, I think you will get the same value out of a, a good, uh, source book or a course or a move trainer or, or, or whatever the formats are, um, where you will get better material.

So, uh, if you value your time more than 50p, you know, 50 cents an hour, then maybe you should consider buying something curated.

That's great.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

So like I, I think Karuana is a much better player in terms of understanding than Sindarov, but if you don't bring your A game because you are sort of relying on, on past efforts, it's gonna be very hard a- and it was very hard.

Um, uh, well, we heard that Giri has been in training camps with Roman, but, but a lot more like as a guest, so it's like, uh, I don't know if he's...

I don't think he's a student from what I understand.

Like Roman is talking about only training the, the Uzbeks and then, uh, Bibisara, uh, and saying that there's, there's room for no one else.

Um, but, but again, like if he does that, then probably he also does other things of active training, and he in- he was second.
