NM Dan Gallagher

64: A Chess Podcast is back, after a brief hiatus! On this episode I was joined by British National Master Dan Gallagher. Dan experienced a lot of success in their youth as a tournament chess player. Dan recently claimed their National Master title and is currently grinding for the FM title, looking to play in the British League and in Hastings this year. Outside of chess, Dan is finishing a philosophy degree at the University of Cambridge.

NM Gallagher is also an active coach who is always looking for new students. It was truly delightful to have Dan on the show this week to restart the podcast. I'm broadcasting from Copenhagen for the next few months and am going to do my best to maximize content opportunities that come from being in Europe. If you want to help me with that while maximizing your chess, you can use code "DAVID30" to get 30% off your first month with Aimchess!

Some highlights from this week's episode:

  • Now that I've moved to Copenhagen, Dan describes playing in the Xtracon Open 2019 (won by Praggnanandhaa), which was played in Denmark

  • How does Dan approach playing against stronger masters (such as IMs and GMs)? A bit of bullying!

  • A typical day in the life of an active tournament NM in terms of chess study

  • Dan talks about their tournament history as a young chess player in the UK, including championship and tournament successes

  • A broad discussion about chess improvement, and making chess fun for the chess improvers community. I explain my gripes with hyperfixation on elo, and Dan recommends some fun chess books

  • Yet another edition of Aimchess Instant Insights!
