Chess is one of the oldest surviving games on the planet, with our current rule system being mostly intact since the 1400s. It's also the most widely played game on the planet. I take interest in the intersection of these two pieces of trivia: the history of competition. I mostly write about 19th century tournaments in my "Winner's POV" series, but if I find something else that's interesting to write about, I shall (ideas welcome).

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...
