Welcome, I'm Aiden.
There is one skill in Chess more important than any other. It’s also the most ignored, underestimated, forgotten skill in the game.
But that’s great news. It means those that can do it have a serious advantage.
I’m honored you’re here. I encourage you to look around. Learn more about me. Read some of the things I write. Maybe test your skills with the Don’t Move Blindfold Trainer.
Reach out and say “Hey!” anytime. I read all my emails.
