This week the Squad Review's Jeremy's pick "Searching for Bobby Fischer".  Thank you for listening and remember to tell your friends if you enjoy the show.

Dr. Kenneth Rogoff has undoubtedly had one of the highest-profile and most interesting careers of any Grandmaster working outside of chess. He is an author and Harvard professor who was once singled-out by none other than Bobby Fischer, as a player who had shown remarkable chess improvement. As a young chess star, Dr. Rogoff actually dropped out of high school to move to Europe and pursue chess professionally, but by age 18 he had returned to the U.S. and enrolled at Yale. He would remain active in chess for many more years, but his top priority gradually switched from chess to academics, and he eventually quit chess entirely (save for an exhibition game against Magnus Carlsen in 2012) Dr. Rogoff still loves chess and thinks about it all the time, but economics turned out to be the right decision for him, as he has become a distinguished professor who has worked as the Chief Economist at the World Bank, and has met 8 different U.S. Presidents in his life. His new book, Our Dollar, Your Problem,intersperses occasional lessons from his chess career while providing a modern history of the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency. This interview focuses primarily on Dr. Rogoff's chess career, but those interested in his reflections on the global economy should stay tuned until the end of the interview, and should definitely check out his new book.

Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff approaches global finance with the same strategic foresight that made him a chess grandmaster. Author of the new book Our Dollar, Your Problem, Rogoff doesn't sugarcoat America's future: he foresees a significant inflation shock within a decade, far more severe than the post-COVID bout. When this second wave hits, he warns, "credibility's really going to be shot." In this conversation, Ken and Tyler tackle international economic dynamics, unresolved macro puzzles, the state of chess, and more, including whether trade deficits are truly unsustainable, why China's investment-heavy growth model has reached its limits, how currency depreciation neutralizes tariff effects, Pakistan's IMF bailouts, whether more Latin American countries should dollarize, Japan's deceptively peaceful economic decline, Europe's coming fiscal reckoning, how the US will eventually confront its ballooning debt, the puzzling absence of a recession during our recent disinflation, the potential of phasing out large denomination currency notes, the future relevance of stablecoins, whether America should start a CBDC, Argentina's chances under Milei, who will be the next dominant player in chess, hanging out with Bobby Fischer, drawing out against Magnus Carlsen, and how to save classical chess from excessive computer preparation.

Conversations with Tyler Key Takeaways  “Looking way forward, we are on an unsustainable path.” – Kenneth Rogoff on the US fiscal situation The debt continues to balloon and another inflationary impulse is on the horizon Higher taxation is likely as a means to manage the deficit Japan has been effective at becoming sclerotic slowly, but their economic model is not worth imitating – especially if you are trying to compete with China Japan could be in serious trouble: It is finally experiencing inflation, needing to raise interest rates, has stuffed government debt into every orifice of its economy, and cutting old-age benefits to pay its growing interest expense“I think this is absolutely an existential crisis for Europe. It may lead to them becoming more cohesive. It may lead to them becoming more of a geopolitical power, but yes, they are going to have to make choices that they haven't had to make.” – Kenneth Rogoff on the economic situation in Europe The US brain drain of Europe's top talent contributes to Europe's slow economic growthSuddenly, the United States spends more on interest expense than it does on defense spendingThe fact that real interest rates appear to have regressed to their long-term trend is the most important macro change in the world The US should not be the first nation to implement a CBDC, if it ultimately chooses to do soWhy change the rules of the game if we are on top and winning? The US is so big that we are probably headed towards having competitive stable coins instead of a single CBDC Bet on mean reversion: For many variables, it's wise to assume they'll eventually drift back toward their average – it's a useful principle to keep in mindThe predictability of political business cycles: Those in power ignore the debt, the problem grows, and we end up exactly where we are nowChoosing the optimal inflation rate is one of the greatest macro puzzles – should it be 0%, 2%, 4%, or something else? China has dug itself in a very deep hole that will be difficult to dig out of: Innovation is required for a successful economy; just growing by building more roads and infrastructure will result in diminishing returns Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff approaches global finance with the same strategic foresight that made him a chess grandmaster.

El soviético Mark Taimánov no solo fue uno de los más destacados ajedrecistas del siglo XX, también brilló como uno de los mejores pianistas de la historia de la música. Sin embargo, la crónica del noble juego lo recuerda por haber sufrido una humillante derrota (6-0) contra Bobby Fischer en la carrera por el título del mundo. Hoy, en ‘Cuentos, jaques y leyendas’, Roberto López y Manuel Azuaga desempolvan la vida y obra de Taimánov, un niño prodigio con una vida de película, en el sentido literal de la expresión. En 1937, con solo 11 años, Taimánov protagonizó la película 'El concierto de Beethoven', un film de corte estalinista en el que dos chicos reciben clases para convertirse en virtuosos del violín. De la noche a la mañana, se convirtió en un héroe nacional. Lo que aún no podía imaginar el joven Taimánov es que, poco después, alcanzaría la gloria entre blancas y negras, sentado delante de un piano y sobre un tablero de ajedrez. En ‘Enroque corto’ charlamos con el maestro FIDE mexicano Jorge Ramírez, a propósito de su nuevo libro ‘El supermanual de ajedrez’, recién publicado por Editorial Diéresis. Y, en ‘La gran diagonal’, recibimos la pregunta del ilusionista Ernesto y Pico. Escucha todos nuestros podcast aquí.

[EP 25-155] Now that the Tesla car key vandals and firebombers are being arrested, it seems like the Tesla attacks have almost stopped Amazing what happens when you actually enforce the law against violent leftists What life must be like for Leftists. I chuckle at the notion. They have no way of predicting what President Trump will do next that will energize Americans.Think about it. When Trump isn't accomplishing the impossible as defined by Leftists, he comes up with other innovative things to keep them jumping. How do you plan against the Bobby Fischer of political chess? Trump announced on Fox News, that he will offer a plane ticket and a stipend for illegals to leave the country and then apply legally to return.Pres Trump's deportation plan. What an innovative idea.It's compassionate and provides illegals with the ability to do it the right way. Go ahead Leftists, poke holes in the plan. I think Trump should bring that MS-13 gang leader back and put him in a prominent Democrat's neighborhood.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Bobby Fischer mira fijamente las piezas del ruso Boris Spassky, llevan tantas horas jugando que es difícil no pensar en los siguientes movimientos del rival. Spassky es el estereotipo del ruso, frío pero atento, callado pero determinante. Detrás de ellos hay otra competencia; la Guerra Fría entre Estados Unidos y la extinta Unión Soviética. Eso lo saben Fischer y Spassky, por lo  que en el Campeonato Mundial de Ajedrez de 1972 las tensiones y cada movimiento es fríamente calculado. Finalmente, tenemos un ganador. ¿Quieres saber quién fue? Acá te lo contamos.

En 2002, el ucraniano Ruslan Ponomariov, un joven con cuerpo de bailarín, se proclamó campeón del mundo al derrotar a su compatriota Ivanchuk. Con esta gesta, Ruslan superó en precocidad a Bobby Fischer y Gari Kaspárov. Hoy, en ‘Cuentos, jaques y leyendas’, bailamos al ritmo de Ruslan Ponomariov, un chico nacido en Gorlovka, cuenca hullera de Ucrania, en el epicentro del actual conflicto militar. Su historia de vida es todo un relato de superación. Ponomariov subraya que hubo una época en la que no era tan fácil que su familia obtuviese comida. «A veces no teníamos agua y sufríamos cortes de electricidad», recuerda. Pero, a pesar de ello, el pequeño Ruslan logró ser el campeón del mundo más joven de la historia.

Cada xoves abrimos unha fiestra para visibilizar proxectos relacionados coa igualdade. Hoxe falamos con Kim Llobet sobre a figura de Judit Polgár, Mestra do xadréz. "Judit Polgár bateu o récord de Bobby Fischer converténdose en Gran Mestra aos 15 anos". "En 2005 conseguiu situarse no posto número 8 da lista absoluta, completamente dominada por homes". "Gañou a cada un deles en todas as modalidades de partida, tanto rápidas como lentas. Spassky, Karpov, Kasparov, Topalov, Anand, Fishcher, Carlsen..". Judit Polgár bateu o récord de Bobby Fischer converténdose en Gran Mestra aos 15 anos. Despois de renunciar aos campionatos femininos, converteuse en integrante do equipo da selección olímpica de xadrez masculina do seu país durante oito edicións. Desde 1989 ata a súa retirada das competicións en 2014 mantívose como número 1 na lista de mellores mulleres xadrecistas do mundo, e en 2005 conseguiu situarse no posto número 8 da lista absoluta, completamente dominada por homes. Ao longo de toda a súa traxectoria como xadrecista e posto que as súas habilidades estaban ao nivel da elite deportiva, a moza tivo a oportunidade de medirse ás figuras máis reputadas da historia. E de feito gañou a cada un deles en todas as modalidades de partida, tanto rápidas como lentas. Spassky, Karpov, Kasparov, Topalov, Anand, Fishcher, Carlsen... ningún librouse da excepcional xenialidade de Polgár.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨ Bobby Fischer thought The Reykjavík Grapevine was funded by the CIA. Or was it USAID? We discuss a recent update on the multiple conspiracy theories about The Reykjavík Grapevine's funding. ✨Iceland just got bigger. Or so to say. The UN Continental Shelf Commission has decided that Iceland holds sovereignty over the continental shelf of the Reykjanes Ridge. We "celebrate" this as far as we understand what it means. Mostly we just fear that this will make Trump notice us, something we're happy not to happen.✨A tourist was rescued Thursday by SARS after being lost for five days. The tourist had walked, alone, without any equipment or food to a remote uninhabited fjord in East Iceland and survived by eating grass and old berries. Again we ask: Why?✨ Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd fame was quoted in Japan Today as saying "Our ongoing campaign is to stop illegal whaling activities this summer. We will be intervening against Icelandic whaling. That'll start in June". We discuss Mr. Watson's previous adventures in Iceland, some dating back to 1986.✨ Icelandic Minister of Educations talks shit about our justice system after having lost a court case. We discuss both how this is not cool, yet far from unusual.✨ A man was murdered on Tuesday. At least 6 people have been arrested, some of them detained. Details are sparse. We discuss this tragedy.✨ Those still interested in the Reykjanes Eruptions are waiting for the next eruption to start. We aren't really waiting, but thought we'd mention it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

Bem vindos a mais um episódio do clubinho de literatura! Dessa vez o Doki-Doki vem com os restos de 2024, como os restos de peru e salpicão do Natal. Comento quatro livros que não encaixaram em nenhum outro episódio mas ainda gostei muito: Endgame, uma biografia de Bobby Fischer, possivelmente o maior enxadrista da história, The Loser (O Náufrago) de Thomas Bernhardt, uma história fictícia sobre o pianista Glenn Gould, Confissões de um Yakuza, livro que está no meu radar há eras por ser uma influência sobre o Bob Dylan e joga um balde de água fria em qualquer pessoa que entenda os yakuza através de filmes (palavras do autor), e por fim Temor e Tremor de Soren Kierkegaard. Se no último episódio fiquei enrolando para falar sobre os problemas da ideia de decadência do Romantismo, aqui talvez eu exalte o romantismo na vida real, como no caso de Fischer e Eiji Ijichi (o yakuza cujo nome eu não lembrava pelo livro estar na primeira pessoa), no caso mais literário/imaginativo como no caso d'O Náufrago, ou no caso filosófico de Kierkegaard, no qual o indivíduo tem seus valores acima de todo o universal. Timestamps: 00:00 - Confessions of a Yakuza (Junichi Saga) 28:28 - Endgame (Frank brady) 55:36 - The Loser (Thomas Bernhardt) 1:13:46 - Temor e Tremor (Soren Kierkegaard) Para acompanhar como anda o clubinho de leitura: ⁠https://kramericast.xyz/clubinho.html Os livros desse episódio: ⁠https://kramericast.xyz/blog/dokidoki-5-yakuzas-enxadristas-e-existencialistas.html Visite: https://kramericast.xyz Doe: https://kramericast.xyz/donate.html Crie conta no Odysee: https://odysee.com/$/invite/@Monk's:e Entre no espaço do Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#raro-e-diferente:matrix.org Canal do Telegram: https://t.me/raroediferente Redes sociais: https://kramericast.xyz/links.html

Si pensabas que el llamado Match del Siglo entre Spassky y Bobby Fischer era insuperable, es porque no conocías el gran choque que tuvo lugar en la localidad filipina de Baguio por el título mundial entre Anatoly Karpov y Victor Korchnoi. La enorme acumulación de circunstancias que rozan la locura que os vamos a contar hoy, mucho más allá del deporte del ajedrez, hacen de este match uno de los más divertidos de contar de toda la serie. Vamos a encontrar muchos de los elementos que acompañan a este juego y que ya hemos visto en otros episodios, pero esta vez llevados quizá al extremo: con espías, política, manipulaciones psicológicas e incluso parapsicológicas y toda la tensión propia de este juego en los años más interesantes de la Guerra Fría. Os invitamos a pasar hoy con nosotros un rato enormemente divertido mucho más allá de las 64 casillas del tablero de ajedrez.

En el capítulo de hoy hablamos con Txelu Fernández, subcampeón del mundo sénior en 2022, leyenda viva de este noble deporte. Txelu ha jugado con todos los campeones del mundo contemporáneos, excepto con Bobby Fischer y Magnus Carlsen. Nacido en Portugalete, el encuentro en Reikiavik entre Spassky y Fischer (1972), y el hallazgo por casualidad de un club de ajedrez le inspiraron tanto que, con solo 16 años, decidió convertirse en ajedrecista. ¿Cuánto ha cambiado el ajedrez desde entonces? Charlar con Txelu es, sin duda, todo un lujo. En ‘Cuentos, jaques y leyendas', rendimos homenaje a Emanuel Lasker, el campeón del mundo amigo de Lasker. El físico alemán consideró al ajedrecista una de las personas más interesantes que había conocido. En ‘Jaque, captura, amenaza', el maestro Luisón nos cuenta qué piensa acerca de la apertura inglesa. Y, en ‘La gran diagonal', recibimos el saludo y la pregunta de Pablo Tierraseca, campeón del mundo en la ficción del cortometraje ‘La ambición de Marie' (2024)

En el episodio de hoy ponemos foco en el pasado para reflexionar sobre la estrecha relación entre ajedrez y política. Y es que la historia reciente de España podría ser la metáfora perfecta de una partida de ajedrez. Hablamos de Juan Simeón Vidarte, secretario del Congreso de los Diputados durante la II República, de Alfonso XIII y de su amigo Manuel Golmayo, primer campeón de España, de José Antonio Primo de Rivera y de su hermano Miguel, tan aficionados al noble juego que jugaban cada tarde en la prisión de Alicante. En la sección ‘Enroque corto' charlamos con Xosé Zapata, Premio Goya 2022 al mejor cortometraje de animación por su trabajo ‘The Monkey'. Actualmente, Zapata está trabajando en un nuevo corto animado bajo el título ‘Mr. Fischer's Chair' (La silla de Fischer), inspirado en el mítico duelo de 1972 entre Bobby Fischer y Anatoli Karpov. Esta vez, Zapata contará nada menos que con la voz de Woody Allen para narrar este fantástico cuento. En ‘Jaque, captura, amenaza', el maestro Luisón nos cuenta algunos de los errores más épicos de la historia del ajedrez. Y en ‘La gran diagonal' recibimos el saludo y la pregunta del Maestro FIDE Andrés Guerrero.

The brilliant writer-director Steven Zaillian (Searching for Bobby Fischer) is a strong Emmy contender for his eight-part adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's Ripley novels, along with the collaborators we spoke to: composer Jeff Russo (an Emmy winner for Fargo), Oscar-nominated production designer David Gropman, and editors David Rogers and Joshua Lee. Even if you haven't yet watched the series on Netflix it's fascinating to listen to these creative people talk about what they bring to every film or show they take on.

Episode 3085: Steve Pavlina equates habit change to a strategic game of chess, emphasizing the importance of progressing through the early, middle, and endgame stages rather than attempting immediate transformation. Pavlina's insights reveal a methodical approach to altering habits, underscoring preparation, tactical adjustments, and the role of self-discipline in ensuring success. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://stevepavlina.com/blog/2008/07/habit-change-is-like-chess/ Quotes to ponder: "Changing a habit is like playing a game of chess. In chess there's an early game, a middle game, and an endgame. The same is true for habit change." "The early game of habit change is education and setup. In the middle game, you execute some changes to support your habit change. Only in the endgame do you go directly for the kill."
