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!
Adult Improver Pod: Chasing the WFM Title at 1900 FIDE w/ Kincső Toth
084 Hungary has a rich history of producing chess stars. Even at the adult improver level, you have the impressive accomplishments of our guest, Kincső Toth.
She’s already reached 1900 FIDE and is gunning for the Woman FIDE Master (WFM) title - which requires a 2100 rating plus norms.
And she does this all while earning her computer engineering degree in Budapest.
Kincső infuses even more chess into her life by moderating online events for Chess.com and running a Twitch channel with thousands of followers.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What she changed in her chess to leap 250 FIDE rating points in just one year.
- Are amateurs qualified to coach chess?
- Will she pursue a full-time career in chess if she earns the WFM title?
