I'm a university professor who researches visual cognition on the frozen prairie of North Dakota. What I lack in playing strength I try to make up for with #scicomm articles about chess, cognitive science, data science, and how studying chess in the lab helps reveal neat features of our visual perception.

I was 4.  My father came to me, bent down, looked deep into my eyes, gave me a toy gun (my first one), and told me, “You’re a big boy now; take care of our family.” I didn’t see him for two years. He left for the war. I was six when he returned. (I didn’t recognize him initially due to his beard)He was surprised to see I knew how to play chess. My Grandma had taught me.  Long story short, he took me to a chess school. I got badly beaten in my first game, got angry, and started to train… Long story even shorter, I became a Grandmaster at 19. Then crossed 2,600. Then got very close to breaking into the top 100 players in the world.  But then… I fell in love. Not with a person. I fell in love with chess coaching. I began assisting and instructing other passionate chess players.  When...

Nunca me dediquei. Nunca li nenhum livro ou tive muitos amigos que se interessavam tanto quanto eu, então comecei a esquecer do jogo. Lá por 2014, com 20 anos, comecei a aprender e praticar de novo, mas o trabalho engoliu todo meu tempo e tive de desistir de novo. Sempre amei o jogo, então mais uma vez estou dando uma chance ao meu xadrezinho, mesmo que seja capivara demais. Quando focado, até vejo umas boas jogadas, mas quando tô com a cabeça na lua - o que acontece na maioria das vezes - sou a criança de cinco anos...
