Jan 16, 2024
WGM Jennifer Shahade returns to the podcast! 2023 was a major one for her, and we discuss the major milestones of her year.
If you’re not familiar, Jennifer is a two-time US Women’s Chess Champion, author of 4 chess books (including the recent hit Chess Queens), and a long-time advocate of making the chess community a better place for women and girls.
In this episode, we talk about:
- A recent, fun chess experience she’s had on Jeopardy
- Her new tactics book, Play Like a Champion, that features well-known women chess players (and why the book helps if you’ve only been doing online tactics.)
- The challenges she’s faced by stepping down as head of the US Chess Women and leaving US Chess.
- A peek into Jen’s next book, Thinking Sideways.
