This week on Chess Journeys, I had the pleasure of connecting with Solveig. She started chess just over a year ago, but has dove in head first. We talked about her first months in chess, tournaments, video recommendations, and the value of coaching. Solveig discussed her nervousness around going to tournaments and the intense emotions they cause.
