GM Ramesh perfectly describes the growth mindset vs the fixed mindset. Learning and improvement is always possible with the right positive mindset! Great chat! Thanks!
I love GM Ramesh's analogy on learning to swim. You can watch an instructional DVD each day for a month, but even after all that instruction, I'll drone if you toss me in the pool. You have to play chess to gain experience and drive the lessons home.
Thank you so much :) Couldn't join PCT training for 1800+ because I'm 2300 online but don't have a FIDE rating yet. But I'm very glad I listened to this interview. I will try to apply all of this in my study plan for 2023. As always, thank you Chessdojo for sharing all this content, for free, with your community. Thank you & merry christmas to everyone :)
just wonderful! and well summarized by kostya just before the end. really appreciate this interview! we need one on chess coaching from Ramesh also - how should coaches be :)
42:00 Interesting idea! Focusing on what you dislike is hard for many of us, but it also seems to be a very efficient tool for guiding what to study. It's a little counter-intuitive, as many people see dislikes as just a preference.
Wisdom is universal. For example, we don't truly understand something until we know what we feel and feel what we know. You need to be able to put into words what you feel. Likewise, you need to feel what the words describe. His observation on knowing and doing is fascinating because he's come to the same conclusion through a different sport and life experiences. There are more gems like this that might fly under the radar just how thoughtful they are and applicable in all aspects of life.
I hope you still alive Your example can be used as a counter argument For example regarding the “feel what we know” there is an argument being made of high beginners and intermediate players who represent the majority of people looking to improve seriously, in case of the ones that can’t get a coach or somebody analyze for them who again is the majority, i would say being obsessive with knowledge for a certain time while religiously taking notes of the key points they learn from the material they studying is probably a great path too… the reason goes to the fact of the best way to improve is to learn from your mistakes that’s why getting a coach is the beet thing if you can afford one, and by having low knowledge, their analysis would be mostly useless the only take away is how they blundered but the blunder occurred when they for example allowed the opponent to have great piece activity that could’ve avoided By gaining a tons of knowledge and ideas and written somewhere where it can be reviewed they at least can have better eye for analyzing positions and they have better evaluation skills which is extremely important for calculations Studying tactics early on is always recommended because most the people in the position to recommend it they had coach to work on the other aspects and spot their common weakness - i am not saying tactics is bad, i am saying tactics evolve from superior positions as Fisher said, and those positions rely on mostly piece coordination and activity which why tactics alone won’t cut it for somebody that not fully aware of that, specifically you would see people deactivate their pieces just not to have a double pawn or something like that We need to know stuff so when we analyze and evaluate to finally “feel what we know”
@@ChessDojo I did. I particularly appreciated his emphasis on looking at the positive sides and not focus on mistakes and weaknesses. I fell in that trap far too open
Such a shame that for such an important interview, no one bothered to check the sound on Ramesh's microphone before recording started. That's just so amateurish Chess Dojo! Ramesh was a real catch and the interview is very poorly recorded. Many (like me) will leave instead of struggling to hear the whole thing. One big demerit!
Even super grandmasters are his pupils because they find his training methods useful. It is better to concentrate on the message, not on the accent in which it is being delivered.
Amazingly useful, thanks Ramesh for joining!
Heyyyyy
Yeah this video was amazing to listen to. Thanks for sharing.

GM Ramesh is a blessing to Indian Chess Community
Really appreciate the topic "indexing" on a long video like this - with such a respected teacher!
Wow This video is gold on yt by one on of the best coach, thx kostya/chess dojo
One greatest coach and good person
Excellent advice, nothing less expected from a world class trainer as Ramesh guided with the wonderful questions and commentaries by Kostya!
GM Ramesh, this is so great! Thank you for sharing really professional ideas and methods. I will join your training courses!
This video is GOLD
Truly exceptional interview! So selflessly giving sincere transparent advice. Just wow!

Best chess (and to anything in general really) advice I've heard in a long time. Thanks for sharing!
The best chess podcast interview I’ve seen ty
i put it on my favorites what a nice man and with a lot of great knowledge it sounds like Wisdom
Another great sensei ! All the pieces of advice he gives are very relevant outside of chess as well.

Your example can be used as a counter argument
For example regarding the “feel what we know”
there is an argument being made of high beginners and intermediate players who represent the majority of people looking to improve seriously, in case of the ones that can’t get a coach or somebody analyze for them who again is the majority, i would say being obsessive with knowledge for a certain time while religiously taking notes of the key points they learn from the material they studying is probably a great path too… the reason goes to the fact of the best way to improve is to learn from your mistakes that’s why getting a coach is the beet thing if you can afford one, and by having low knowledge, their analysis would be mostly useless the only take away is how they blundered but the blunder occurred when they for example allowed the opponent to have great piece activity that could’ve avoided
By gaining a tons of knowledge and ideas and written somewhere where it can be reviewed they at least can have better eye for analyzing positions and they have better evaluation skills which is extremely important for calculations
Studying tactics early on is always recommended because most the people in the position to recommend it they had coach to work on the other aspects and spot their common weakness - i am not saying tactics is bad, i am saying tactics evolve from superior positions as Fisher said, and those positions rely on mostly piece coordination and activity which why tactics alone won’t cut it for somebody that not fully aware of that, specifically you would see people deactivate their pieces just not to have a double pawn or something like that
We need to know stuff so when we analyze and evaluate to finally “feel what we know”

living legend RAMESH
17:34 What would he have said to this question before talking about his priorities?
The most interesting question and he never answered it 😢
Great
Where can we buy Rames's book? Can you send me a link please. Thank you!
Sure, it's linked in the description 😊
Extremely good
Where can I find his book(hardcopy)?
Yusupov books (boost your chess /chess evolution/build up your chess) 9books in total
Or
Excelling at chess series (5books)
Which is better ?
They're both good! The Yusupov books are probably easier
🔥
I woul like to get the sheet list how can i get it?,so I enjoy it and lern a lotGreat I came
It's in the description :)
Thank you Very much, Maestro Kostya.
Was Ramesh intentionally pausing and doing some clicking when he was talking about the importance of concentration and not being distracted?
Hope you enjoyed the talk!
@@ChessDojo I did. I particularly appreciated his emphasis on looking at the positive sides and not focus on mistakes and weaknesses. I fell in that trap far too open
Hahaha I also noticed the irony I don’t think he was joking just got distracted 🤣🤣
Hi sir
Such a shame that for such an important interview, no one bothered to check the sound on Ramesh's microphone before recording started. That's just so amateurish Chess Dojo! Ramesh was a real catch and the interview is very poorly recorded. Many (like me) will leave instead of struggling to hear the whole thing. One big demerit!
Unfortunately that was the best we could do at the time (two years ago). Seems like many found the content useful as seen from the comments.
@@ChessDojo Some have more staying power than me....the content is clearly very useful.
The accent is very strong its hard for me to understand..
switch on subtitles
Even super grandmasters are his pupils because they find his training methods useful. It is better to concentrate on the message, not on the accent in which it is being delivered.
