104 This week’s guest is Vanessa Sun, a former chess journalist. For years, she covered events for US Chess, from major national tournaments like the US Open to local competitions.
She was also a tournament director at the famous Marshall Chess Club in New York City. Plus, she’s volunteered for IM Greg Shahade at the US Chess School, which is a nonprofit that offers free chess coaching to the most promising juniors in the country.
Beyond her chess experiences, she’s an atmospheric chemist and is currently in a Ph.D program.
In this episode, we chat about her chess journey, including:
- What unique insights about chess she’s gained from covering tournaments and doing interviews as a chess journalist.
- Why she prefers classical and calls herself a “blitz hater.”
- Whether there’s any link between playing chess and intelligence.
- The powerful impact chess can have on people’s lives, even if they don’t make a career of it or work on the game regularly.
