What is Chess Dojo Talks?

Chess Dojo Talks is the podcast produced by the Chess Dojo team — GMs Jesse Kraai and David Pruess and IM Kostya Kavutskiy — covering chess improvement, competitive chess culture, and conversations with titled players. Episodes blend the coaches' practical experience with guest interviews and roundtable discussions on training methodology.

The podcast is particularly focused on the adult improver perspective: how to make real progress in chess when you have limited time, what habits and study approaches work, and how to stay motivated through the long process of chess improvement. It complements the Chess Dojo training platform with the educational philosophy behind it.

All episodes are free on Podbean and major podcast platforms. It is a natural companion to the Chess Dojo curriculum for players enrolled in the program, and stands independently as a quality improvement-focused chess podcast.
