Chess improvement as an adult is harder than it should be. Plus, the journey can sometimes feel too stressful and serious. This show aims to fix that by 1) interviewing experts who can offer clarity on the best ways to improve; and 2) giving you a heap of fun with “chess entertainment” shows that discuss chess culture, events, movies, etc. Most episodes feature a guest, but sometimes I'll do a solo show on a topic. This is all brought to you by me, Daniel Lona. I’m a dedicated chess amateur and the owner of Adult Chess Academy. After listening to this podcast, I want you to have a clearer idea of how to improve, and have a more fun, dynamic chess experience. Please follow the show so you don’t miss an episode!
Conquering US Women's Chess with IM Carissa Yip
034 Carissa is a shining star. The youngest American woman to earn the IM title. Winner of the 2021 US Women’s Championship. Top-ranked female US player in 2019.
If that weren’t enough, Carissa is the youngest female ever to beat a Grandmaster (she did so at age ten.)
Even with so many accomplishments, Carissa remains humble and down-to-Earth.
And she has a great sense of humor.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What caused her sudden rating climb?
- The ups and downs of her 5-year journey to win the US Women’s Championship.
- Her first-ever experience competing in the 2002 Chess Olympiad.
- Will she try to earn the GM title while in college?
