b'This week I am joined by two accomplished players, trainers, and co-authors, Grandmaster Eugene Perelshteyn, and FM Nate Solon. Together, Nathan and Eugene have written the forthcoming book, Evaluate like a Grandmaster. As highly-accomplished players and trainers, Nate and Eugene noticed that there wasn\\u2019t a lot of chess literature helping players improve their ability to evaluate positions. They have written a great book to help address this problem. In our conversation, they highlight some of the lessons from the book, including an important discussion of the perils of relying too heavily on numerical engine evaluations. We also discuss some of the standout points and anecdotes from Nate and Eugene\\u2019s other work. Nate is a data scientist who writes a great, free chess newsletter called Zwischenzug, and Eugene is a respected opening theoretician who has recently released his first Chessable course,\\xa0The Grand Prix Attack Reloaded. As always, you can find more details, relevant links, and timestamps below.\\xa0\\n\\nPrior Appearances by Eugene and Nate :\\xa0\\nEpisode 31 with GM Eugene Perelshteyn\\xa0\\nBook Recap #17- Zurich 1953 with FM Nate Solon and GM Andy Soltis\\n\\n\\n02:00- Why write\\xa0a book on evaluating positions?\\xa0\\n09:00- Where do they find the puzzles?\\xa0For what rating level is the book best suited?\\xa0\\n\\n12:00- Why does Nate think that the \\u201ccentipawn\\u201d evaluation system is flawed?\\n\\n20:30- Patreon mailbag question: \\u201cWhen calculating, how can we know when to shift from crunching potential moves to evaluating a position?\\u201d\\n\\n25:00 What did GM Romani Dzindzichashvilli teach Eugene about evaluating positions? \\n\\n27:00-\\xa0Perpetual Chess is brought to you in part by Chessable.com.
