Jacob Aagaard, re his 3 questions:
"I have since used these questions in training with club players of average level (and below) and strong grandmasters. They are equally useful for all levels for a simple reason: the purpose of the three questions is to direct your focus."

For the serious learners in chess, I am restarting my YouTube channel from today. Have been planning this for some months and recently managed to put together a small team to help with recording and editing content. Small baby steps. Will try to post regularly instructive contents in the channel.

Comedy palate cleanser. Robert Jenrick about to grandstand but reminded of his defection from one party to another this year is gold. The timing. First line great. Second line superb but crowd not recovered from the first to fully appreciate it 😊
