  • EP 429- Omar MIlls: Chess and Life Lessons Learned from Not Improving as Much as He Expected
    2025/04/08
    The Adult Improver series returns to Perpetual Chess to welcome Omar Mills (aka ChessvonDoom) to the podcast. Omar fell in love with chess during the pandemic and has learned some unexpected lessons through the thousands of games he has played in subsequent years. He learned that chess improvement and maintaining a disciplined study routine is much harder than he ever could have guessed, but that you can learn a lot about yourself through the game nonetheless. In a new Chessable course, Chess Destiny: Lessons from an Adult Improver and his Coach, Omar collaborates with popular YouTuber NM Robert Ramirez to share some of these unexpected chess and life lessons. These lessons include: What does Omar call “the rule of three?” What has playing the bass taught Omar about chess improvement? What one piece of advice would he give his “new to chess” self of 5 years ago? Plus lots more, its always insightful and entertaining to hear from Omar!

But there is a lot more to discuss including: What goes into decisions of choosing commentators for an event? Lessons learned from some P.R. missteps related to the closing of Chess24, and changes to the Chessable product offerings. Upcoming TV shows and documentaries related to chess. Why are so many of these shows related to cheating?
