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!
Candidates Recap with WIM Fiona Steil-Antoni
024 The 2022 Candidates was a wild ride. Predictions were shattered. A dominant performance surprised many. And the looming question of “Does second place matter?” hung in the air.
For the first time, The Chess Experience is reviewing a world-class tournament!
To help discuss the highlights (and lowlights) of the event, along with some lessons that can help club players…
I interviewed WIM Fiona Steil Antoni, a professional commentator of top chess events,
Fiona has been commentating for the past eight years and now works for Chess.com.
Most recently, she had the incredible opportunity to be one of the regular commentators on Hikaru Nakamura's Twitch channel while he competed in the Candidates.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Which players exceeded her expectations? Which fell below them?
- Three lessons from this event that can help club players in their own tournaments.
- Fiona’s two favorite games from the event.
- Should FIDE change the World Championship format to entice Magnus to defend the title?
- Will Magnus defend his title?
