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!
The Adult Improver Chess Life with Sam Canciobello
078 Dedicating three years of your life to chess as an adult is huge. Especially when it includes OTB classical tournaments and running a chess YouTube channel. That’s been the story of Sam Canciobello.
Inspired by the Queen’s Gambit, her passion for chess - now in its fourth year - has been consistent and impressive.
In this episode, we cover the different stages of her chess life, her long-term goals, and lessons she’s learned along the way. We also discuss:
- Was it worthwhile for her to spend a large volume of time on openings at the beginning of her journey?
- What factors have helped her improve the most?
- Why great women players had a big impact on her chess life.
