We talk about the parallels between chess and athletic training and competition and concepts that can be applied by athletes to improve, dealing with setbacks, dealing with loss, risk, analyzing competitors and other parallels.
We talk about achieving the level of mastery in a craft and whether its born, learned or a combination of both.
We talk about how to think like a grandmaster and the distinction between what to think and how to think.
We discuss the parallels with chess and life, and how understanding of those parallels can be helpful.
Ashley gives his perspective on why we see such large disparities in chess with women and minorities and what can be done to help.
Ashley provides his recommendation on persevering in the current climate and what advice athletes and everyone can take from a grandmaster on persevering through difficult times.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
