Really digging GM Studer’s straightforward noise-cancelling chess improvement advice via the podcast and newsletter. He’s inspired me to set some clear and simple goals for my chess in 2026.
Really enjoy Noel’s podcasts. They are great for adult chess improvers. The content is a nice combination of chess training advice and psychological insights. I also purchased Noel’s chess course which helped me greatly.
