Ep. 293 Varun (1500 USCF)

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Varun. We talked about his massive decision to retire and go chess full time. He talked about his progress since retiring and his motivation for the decision. We discussed coaching and his favorite resources. We talked about the joy of great tournaments and the pain of bad ones. We also discussed his chess website Chessalyz. https://chessalyz.ai/?ref=DrScull - 50% off for 3 months Chessbook: chessbook.com/?ref=kevin chess-journeys.com - The podcast has a website!
