Ep. 277 Kirsten (1400 Chesscom)

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Kirsten. We spoke about her love of chess and trying to find the time for improvement. Kirsten went from 400-1400 in two years, but recently has hit a plateau. She provided several resources suggestions including books and videos. We discussed finding OTB opportunities, and we spoke a bit about the LA and Santa Monica chess scene. Kirsten discussed teaching her child chess. We discussed chess history. A big takeaway from this episode is that even when Kirsten doesn’t have time for dedicated chess improvement, she is staying connected to the game she loves.
