  • Must for Adult Improvers

    The format of Aiden’s shows get better and better as has the new website - Don’t Move Until You See It is the best content specifically aimed at adult improvers , who absorb all the knowledge and culture available without gaining the core skills of conceptualisation and board vision , the geometry and patterns that come so quickly and easily to kids! Aiden’s work directly addresses that in a variety of unique ways. Keep up the great work ( and hoping for an IOS app one day?!..)

  • Love the focus on metacognition

    i’m really enjoying the show and the focus on conceptualize. As someone with aphantasiahia I thought visualization was beyond my grasp so I never really tried. Now seeing… or rather getting better at this skill and I can see the impact on my game and elo improvement.

  • Excellent exercices and resources for adult improvers

    Chess is hard. Solving chess puzzles and problems in your mind? Even harder!

    This podcast really forces you to visualize without looking at a board. Regular tactics puzzles become simple and easy, by comparison.

    Think of it as weightlifting or strengthening exercises for your chess brain. Really helps with visualization and calculation.

    Highly recommended, especially for adult improvers.
