In this episode I have Fide Master, Justin Blackman, to teach me all about Chess.
Justin is a chess player from the island of Barbados (yes, like Rhianna) and a classmate of mine at business school. We talk about how chess is played, what the rules are and some new types of games and even some of the mental and emotional benefits of the game. Also, the blitz thing sounds fun! We also touch on how the governing association, FIDE, is promoting diversity and inclusion in chess.
This episode is great for someone new to chess, or parents considering getting their children into a new hobby. If you already play chess, let us know what you thought about the episode.
You can also watch the episode on YouTube.
Thanks for listening!!
