This week I spoke with National Master Nick Panico. Nick is a fellow educator with a background in science and has also been active as a storm chaser. 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
