@Gordima, please make a blog post exploring ideas how to get from 2300+ to 2700+, when already age 40+.
The hardest part will be getting the time somehow... work, family, etc. Realistically, investing 6-8 hours a day in chess improvement is hard to imagine for an adult. Without that, I doubt it is possible. Other than that, I don't think it will be different than for 13 y.o. (if you mean classical time control ofc)

> I guess you mean Nf3 Nf6 g3 d5 Bg2 d5 O-O e6, yeah, that's probably even
I mostly talked about 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 c5 - and then d7-d5. In case of 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.g3 c5 3.Bg2 d5 followed by g6 seems quite convenient for a Grunfeld player

So, please make a blog post exploring ideas how to get from 2300+ to 2700+, independent of age ^^

I believed Stockfish without checking, who told me that e6 is better than g6, but not true, g6 is good.
@jahrzehnte I'm working with some kids that have this rating. Once they get to 2700+ I will write about it XD
Otherwise, it would be very generic. Now there are many new training methods possible because of engines, and hard to say which are better without testing first. Maybe I will write about some of my training ideas. Don't know yet
Yes, e6 is great. Just g6 probably fits Grunfeld players better because positions look similar to each other
