This week I spoke with my friend Jay Kleinman, a fellow chess amateur and social worker in NY. Jay recounted some fascinating experiences from the amateur tournament scene, and an overriding theme in our conversation was how becoming a parent changes the narrative of adult improvement. Some of our talking point include:
- The unfortunate decline of OTB post-mortem analysis
- The dangers of mimicking super-GMs
- How Jay almost gave a lesson to the late William Lombardy (Fischer's coach)
- Jay's encounters with some now-famous GMs ("I knew them when...")
- Chess improvement beyond parenting
- Opening choices
