Ep. 223 Flashback: Stacia Pugh (1700 USCF) Ep. 31

This week's flashback episode comes from episode 31. Stacia Pugh has a great story quickly rising from 1000-1700 USCF before falling back to her floor of 1500. But after changing everything about her game, she returned to 1700 once more. In this clip Stacia talks about her rapid rise from 1000-1700 USCF, dealing with setbacks and plateaus, getting big rating gains from what feels like a lucky tournament, the value of working with coaches, and throwing out her Opening repertoire and starting from scratch based on coaches advice.
