Our guest this week is a self-taught FIDE Master, coach, and popular course creator hailing from the Netherlands: Midas Ratmas.
Midas has built his chess career around helping club players and beginners.
As such, he’s developed a special talent for teaching chess to players at this level.
Midas has already published over a dozen Chessable courses covering areas like the opening, tactics, and strategy - with many more on the horizon.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The 3 ways he makes opening courses more accessible and easier for club players to manage.
- Why beginners - and maybe even club players - should learn the strategies that stem from each of the individual chess pieces.
- How he plans to achieve his goal of earning the IM title.
- Straightforward advice on endgames & calculation from his upcoming courses.
