I am a New York-based writer, documentary producer, and chess expert (USCF rating ~2060). My insane obsessive hobby for a long time has been to play through old chess games, more or less in chronological order. I am interested in the evolution of chess and looking to follow various ideas as they develop over time, but most of all, I am interested in the players and in treating them sort of the way an art survey book would treat artists. The theory is that each top player – to consistently defeat other grandmasters – has to bring something new to the game, has to have a philosophy of chess that sets them apart. I am thrilled to share that there is now a book version of the blog available at Amazon.com. For non-chess-writing (if there really is such a thi...

I was born in 1960 - the year a young Mikhail Tal became World Champion. After leaving the British junior chess circuit I started working unusual hours and have done ever since. For that reason I had very little chance to play chess as an adult, and instead bought chess books. At least 1000 have passed through my hands, and I have gone over at least 50,000 Master level games. I am fascinated by chess as an evolutionary process, and have been writing about chess history since the days when I had to type up articles on a stencil for a 'duplicating machine'. There is a saying :- 'No-one is entitled to an opinion. Everyone is entitled to an informed opinion. Who would say that they are entitled to ignorance.' Sometimes things that ' everybody knows' are not true. All chess players are my f...

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 taught chess at the age of 9. My brother was a coach, and he inspired me to become one too. By the time I was 15, I was already helping beginners experience growth in chess, something that has always been a rewarding experience for me. Today, I have a USCF rating of 1800 and embrace the chance to bring this sense of pride and success to beginner and intermediate level players that want to bring their game to the next level.If you want to know more about me and what I do, check out my Linktree: https://linktr.ee/H1chess

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...
