Chess player, journalist, author and speaker
As one of the world’s biggest experts on the world of chess, I have written about the game for almost two decades. You can find most of my articles, interviews and reports on Chess.com. On October 24, 2024, my book The Chess Revolution was released!
I am available for talks about the many links between the game of kings and Western culture. Possible topics:
- the history of chess
- chess in popular culture (cinema, TV series, sports, politics)
- chess in art, literature, theater and music
- chess and science
- chess computers, AI and the Internet
And perhaps it was precisely because she knew nothing at all about chess that chess for her was not simply a parlour game or a pleasant pastime, but a mysterious art equal to all the recognized arts
