<p>The final episode of Season 3 of How to Chess is a rare solo pod, where Ben </p><p>succinctly summarizes the key lessons about chess role models that were </p><p>imparted by the <em>How to Chess </em>guests. As Ben notes, the guests have</p><p> highlighted role models ranging from elite players to local players to </p><p>renowned endgame specialists, and luckily we don't need to choose just </p><p>one person to learn from in our chess studies. In closing, Ben </p><p>highlights a few of his own chess role models and the lessons that he </p><p>learned from them. Thanks to all of the brilliant How to Chess Season 3 </p><p>guests, be sure to check out their courses, and thanks to you all for </p><p>listening! </p>
