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!
FM Megan Lee - Achieving New Heights as an Adult in OTB Chess
101 Megan Lee is an inspiration to all of us adult improvers. Even with a busy work life running two businesses, Megan has had an incredible year: reaching her lifetime rating peak (2297 FIDE), earning the FM title, and competing in the US Women’s Championship.
In fact, this year will be her third invitation to that prestigious event.
Yet she does this all on the side while she juggles a typical but heavy load of adult responsibilities.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why Megan can achieve more in chess as an adult than she did as a junior.
- Megan’s experiences competing at the US Women’s Chess Championship (including her prep for this year’s event.)
- What areas of her game she’ll need to strengthen to achieve the IM title.
