Nick shared his vast experience from the amateur chess scene and our conversation went in a lot of interesting directions. Some of our talking points include the following:

  • Tips for improvers
  • The amateur tournament scene
  • Should you play gambit openings?
  • Cheating & sandbagging
  • Bishop & knight mate
  • Nick's journey to NM
  • Online vs. OTB chess
