  • Summary

  • 098 Adult club players are a fast-growing part of the chess community. But this growth is relatively new. And the community may not have fully caught up to our sizeable presence. So, in a first for this podcast, I’ve brought in two guests to help me discuss this subject and propose some ideas to make the community more engaging for us adult amateurs.

    Kamryn Hellman is an adult improver who rose to 2000 Chess.com Rapid in less than a year. Since then, she’s launched a YouTube channel and created a Chessable course for beginners.

    Omar Mills is a super-dedicated and inspiring club player who’s built a large chess Twitter following.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • The need for more adults-only OTB tournaments.
    • The exciting opportunity for more online, adult amateur events a la Pogchamps (Omar suggests “Survivor: Chess Edition!”)
    • Whether chess media should feature notable achievements or stories of adult club players.

    Kamryn:
