Ep. 298 NM John Wright

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with NM John Wright. He is the president of the San Gabriel Valley Chess Club. John talked about his 60 year history with chess. We discussed some of his first books, and how he learned chess long before the days of the internet. We talked about a wide range of topics such as kids in chess, streaks and slumps, teaching, and being a TD. John also discussed his journey to 2200. He reached 2150, but it took 7 more years to reach 2200! It was a great discussion covering many aspects of the chess journey.
