  • Always Surprised

    Even though I’m a lover of the game, I’m always surprised by just how much I enjoy each episode! Analyzing games is important, but chess is more than that; it’s something like a world view, a formatting of the mind. I really appreciate all things chess adjacent and this podcast satisfies that longing.

    The interview with Tania Sachdev was wonderful! Her thoughts and enthusiasm are infectious!

#97. Margeir Petursson Talks About His Careers In Chess And Banking!
Q: What sparked your interest in chess and how did your early years shape your path?
I was drawn to chess early on and grew alongside a strong Icelandic chess culture. Reading and studying deeply, I progressed through national youth and club play, which laid a foundation for my later open tournament success and the decision to pursue chess while balancing education and law.
#94. Simen Agdestein, Live From Norway Chess!
Q: What role does Norway Chess play in promoting chess in the country?
Norway Chess serves as a focal point that brings in investors and media attention, which in turn funds training camps and tournaments, benefiting aspiring players and the chess community as a whole.
#94. Simen Agdestein, Live From Norway Chess!
Q: How do you balance public attention with teaching responsibilities?
The balance comes from leveraging publicity while ensuring the work at NTG continues to build a broad base of young players, with family support and a calm approach to pressure for the kids.
#94. Simen Agdestein, Live From Norway Chess!
Q: What are your current ambitions, Simen?
Ambitions are evolving; most previous goals have been achieved many times over, so now the focus is on personal growth like reading and curiosity, rather than chasing traditional titles alone.
#92. John Donaldson About His Latest Bobby Fischer Book!
Q: What was the most surprising archival find for you?
The discovery of extensive correspondence and score sheets in boxes that revealed missing games and pre-Interzonal materials, showing how much of Fischer's early career was preserved by his mother and later institutional custodians, which reshaped parts of the narrative.
