I had the great pleasure of talking to GM Jacob Aagaard. He took a deeply respectable stance as a grandmaster, thinking out loud as I tested him with key positions.
A great coach doesn’t just lecture—they solve problems with you, revealing their thought process in real time.
We explored strategic decision-making, especially around piece exchanges, inspired by his book Mastering Chess Exchanges (co-authored with Reiner Castellanos).
Jacob shared so many nuggets of chess wisdom—I’m now working hard to turn them into several short videos for you all. ☺️
Hope you will find great value in it. Please write your thoughts on video comments.
