EP 304- Neal Bruce- What We Can Learn from the Studying Classic Game Compilation Books
b"This week I am joined by longtime friend of the podcast Neal Bruce. Neal learned chess from scratch at the age of 40, and is immersed in a multi-year chess study plan that currently focuses on studying the game collections of some of some of chess\\u2019 greatest players. As bibliophiles, Neal and I are particularly interested in books featuring legendary games, but one can also study classics through online databases or YouTube serieses. In this podcast, Neal updates us on his study routine, and we rank some of the best \\u201cgame collection\\u201d books we have come across. We also weigh the importance of studying games. Is it an indispensable part of any chess player's routine? Is there a \\u201cright way\\u201d to study them? What will be next for Neal? It is always inspiring to hear of Neal\\u2019s commitment to lifelong learning!
