Podcasts about Chess

(Host: Samantha)  Games are amazing. They teach us how to engage with the world through play. They've also been used to train some of the greatest military minds. Chess is notoriously the game of the aristocracy, used to teach strategy and forward thinking. In the 19th century, a Prussian father and son, George Leopold von Reisswitz and Georg Heinrich Rudolf Johann von Reisswitz, brought strategic gaming to a whole new level with profound results.   For further reading suggestions and more, please visit: https://www.footnotinghistory.com

A Note from JamesI've been on and off writing. From 2004 to 2021, I wrote one to two books a year, without fail. Since then, nothing. But I've been working on an idea: obsession. When I'm not obsessed, I can't do much—sometimes not even the basics. But when I am obsessed, I can turn that energy into real outcomes: a business, a book, a skill, sometimes success, sometimes failure.This episode comes from a recent conversation I had with the Ventura Labs team. We talked about obsession, but also about AI, crypto, and how those obsessions have led to building TAO Synergies ($TAOX), a public company on Nasdaq. I'd love to hear your thoughts: should I write this as a book? Reach out on Twitter or anywhere.Episode DescriptionJames Altucher joins the Ventura Labs Podcast to explore the link between obsession, creativity, and execution. From contributing to IBM's Deep Blue in the 90s to co-founding TAO Synergies, James shares how obsessions with chess, AI, and crypto have shaped his life and career.The conversation covers the philosophy behind decentralized AI, the rise of treasury strategies, and why writing down ten ideas a day can change everything. This episode isn't about trends—it's about frameworks: how to spot real opportunities, how to build around them, and how to know when obsession is worth pursuing.What You'll LearnWhy obsession can be both a weakness and a superpower—and how to channel it productively.How Bittensor ($TAO) creates decentralized AI opportunities at a fraction of traditional costs.The mechanics of treasury companies and how TAO Synergies is building its playbook.The risks and rewards of subnet investing, and how tokenomics actually drive value.Lessons James learned from failure, from HBO web series experiments to company collapses, and why generating ideas daily can reset your career.Timestamped Chapters02:15 – Introduction02:58 – What is Bittensor06:24 – AI background and Deep Blue09:34 – Chess interest and journey11:46 – $TAOX inspirations and getting TAO-pilled14:09 – TAO Synergies origin story16:57 – Reaching 100M and playbook19:41 – Treasury strategies and validators22:02 – Launching TAO Daily25:51 – Bitcoin adoption and involvement29:32 – Subnet investing and analysis30:59 – Token warnings and TAO demand35:46 – Subnet proposals and increases37:36 – Successful sectors and examples40:04 – Yanez and Metanova43:17 – Decentralization benefits46:13 – AI jobs and countering fears49:34 – Beneficial sectors: AI and stablecoins53:59 – Bryan Johnson documentary55:17 – Starting podcast and interviews57:14 – Interests and obsessions01:00:56 – Daily writing obsession and origins01:03:47 – Confidence and opinions01:07:33 – Company failures and lessons01:10:42 – HBO series and 3AM show01:14:26 – Hesitancy, regrets, pivotal points01:17:38 – Advice on time and experimentsAdditional ResourcesTAO Synergies: @TAOSynergiesTAO Daily (community news hub): taodaily.ioNaval Ravikant – AngelList founder and Bitcoin advocateVentura Labs Podcast (YouTube): @VenturaLabsPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As you may have heard, ⁠GM Hikaru Nakamura made a surprise appearance ⁠at the Louisiana State Championship, as part of fulfilling FIDE's World Championship qualification criteria. In return, the players he encountered gained memories and stories they'll never forget. In this multi-guest special episode, I speak with several of Hikaru's opponents, as well as the tournament's organizer, to hear their firsthand accounts: Senior Tournament Director Richard Campbell (13:00) – on why he and his team initially thought Hikaru's registration was a prank, and how they realized it was real. 20-year-old college student Harry James (32:00) – on how being paired with Hikaru in Round 1 unexpectedly cured his hangover. Tulane graduate student Nahum Villamil Garces (47:30) – on the lifetime memories he made after facing Hikaru in Round 3. Five-time Louisiana State Champion FM Nick Matta (1:06:00) – on how he forced himself to play Hikaru with no fear, and how the opportunity to play him re-energized his passion for chess.  Baton Rouge-based NM Charles Campbell (1:34:00) – on the mixed feelings he had before his last-round showdown with Hikaru, as he vied for the state champion title. It was so much fun hearing the stories of our guests, and I was touched by the galvanizing effect Hikaru's visit had on the Louisiana chess community Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com!

On this Friday edition the host opens with a candid apology and dives into a wide-ranging hour that connects geopolitics, domestic scandal and culture-war flashpoints. The episode leads with the controversial sinking of a Venezuelan drug-cartel boat — framed as an anti-terror move — and explores the host's case that the strike is part of a larger Trump strategy for hemispheric control, regime change in Venezuela, energy dominance, and a transition away from the fiat dollar toward digital currency. China's growing influence in South America and the timing of global summits are discussed as context for U.S. action. Listeners get the show's recurring “Word on Word” game comparing two scripture passages (Exodus 33:15 vs. Matthew 28:18–20), with the Gospel passage taking the day. The program then plays a series of curated clips and commentary: James Comer on alleged White House autopen/pardon abuses with Maria Bartiromo, John Solomon previewing bombshell National Archives documents, and a CNN segment revisiting Uranium One and influence questions. The episode covers a cluster of medical- and pharma-related stories: RFK Jr.'s widely shared hearing moments, Trump's public positioning on Big Pharma and drug-price rebates, Bill Gates' presence and mRNA vaccine discussions, and archival clips of Anthony Fauci on early AIDS epidemiology. The host ties these threads into broader claims about elite influence, alleged cover-ups, and the role of powerful institutions in shaping policy. Additional segments include a provocative investigative excerpt about preserved fetal remains, a three-minute Q-adjacent clip connecting Trump soundbites, a stinging rant from a Canadian content creator about crime and policing (played for context, noted for its explicit language), and a humorous Tim Dillon clip from Joe Rogan to close. The show also touches on Elon Musk's Grok/A.I. commentary and Peter Thiel/Palantir discussion. Key takeaways: the host argues the Venezuela action signals a larger hemispheric play, raises legal and political alarms about autopen use in the White House, highlights ongoing battles over Big Pharma and vaccine policy, and critiques mainstream media framing. The episode features recorded clips from James Comer, Maria Bartiromo, John Solomon, RFK Jr., Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Tim Dillon and others, and ends with a personal update about the host's family and community prayer information.

Danny Rensch grew up in the Church of Immortal Consciousness, a cult he usually refers to as ‘the Collective'. Started by Steven and Trina Kamp, the group followed the teachings of a Dr Pahlvon Duran, whose spirit first visited Trina when she was 9. In trances, she would convey the teachings of Dr Duran, whose last lifetime was lived as an Englishman in the 15th century. The group lived communally dispersed across basic housing in Tonto Village, Arizona.The Collective's small charter school, the Shelby School, became renowned for the performance of its chess team, and Danny Rensch was its star performer. By 14 he was a US Chess Federation national master, which was an Arizona state record at that age, and at 19 he was ranked first in the United States for his age, when he also achieved his first international master norm. Today he is the Chief Chess Officer and co-founder of Chess.com. In his memoir, Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life, out on 6 September and available now for pre-order, Danny delves into this part of his story for the first time.Links:Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life — by Danny Rensch, Hachette, September 2025Chess.com — With Danny Rensch's profile and statisticsIf you have been personally affected by involvement in a cult, or would like to support those who have been, you can find support with or donate to Cult Information and Family Support if you're in Australia (via www.cifs.org.au), and you can find resources outside of Australia with the International Cultic Studies Association (via www.icsahome.com).

Greg and Ed discuss a much neglected topic in Bangkok expat life: how to survive as someone who doesn't drink alcohol. Everyone knows that Bangkok has an epic nightlife, but much of that experience revolves around alcohol consumption. The guys discuss the option of going to the usual places and merely opting out of drink, but they also admit that for some people that is socially awkward and can put a damper on the evening. So what about events that themselves are not based around alcohol? Well, both guys offer multiple suggestions. First, sports activities that are social by nature but NOT directly tied to booze. Popular options today are padel and pickle ball. Second, the broader wellness community that includes yoga, meditation, and cold plunges offer great opportunities to meet people and not drink. Third, the guys recommend other hobbies that while they may not ban alcohol, they are not centered around it. Chess, board games, and martial arts all come to mind.  Another option is to focus on the community of expats that are into Thai history and culture, such as those involved in the Siam Society and the National Museum. While social gatherings may include cocktail options, opting out is much easier among that crew. Greg and Ed fully support the avoidance of alcohol - it's obviously not healthy and peer pressure itself is toxic. The good news is that Bangkok is big and diverse enough that there are plenty of options out there for those willing to check out new things.  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

Jon Bruschke is a former college debate coach turned musical theatre obsessive. What makes his perspective unique is how he approaches a show, like a debate topic.Every week for over a decade, Jon had to prep 150–200 page files analyzing complex political, legal, and economic issues from every angle, then coach students to defend or refute them in high-stakes national tournaments. Now, he's applying that same analytical rigor to musicals.He covers topics like: Unpacking the French Revolution in Les MisérablesTracing the roots of Cats back to T.S. Eliot and post-war surrealismComparing Chicago to real legal publicity casesExamining the Cold War backdrop of Chess through the lens of the Nixon–JFK debatesJon's approach goes deep, blending history, politics, pop culture, and production backstories. It's like listening to a theatre professor and a political analyst in the same conversation, except it's all in plain English and 100% enthusiastic. musicals we all love.

Synopsis: Esther 5-6 demonstrates the difference between faith and religious fatalism. God is the grand chess Master of History, who requires humans to make decisions based on his revelation and sanctified wisdom or to make decisions according to fallen reason. Faith submits life to God, while fatalism is hopelessness bound for destruction. Sermon Text: Esther 5-6

Apply to work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/It's tough to separate your job title from your identity and self-worth. Here's 2 great questions Robert Earnshaw asked himself upon retiring from the highest level:“If I'm not a footballer…then who am I?”“Now that it's over, how do I want to show up, and who do I want to be for those around me?”Transferable Lessons & Principles from our conversation:- Obsession is necessary. The person who lies awake at night thinking about how to get better will win. - You are more than your job. Do not confuse WHAT you do with WHO you are.- Diversify your sources of happiness and self-esteem. Not every passion needs to be monetised. Keep something just for you. "Earnie" has navigated the transition from professional footballer and public figure with more ease, grace, and optimism than most.I caught up with him in Singapore, after we shared the pitch at the Soccer 7s Series to talk about the “inner game”:But this episode isn't just for athletes.

This content discusses a new 50% tariff imposed on Indian goods, which the speaker frames as a necessary punishment for India's alliance with Russia and China. The speaker argues that this economic pressure is a far better alternative to military conflict. He then shifts to an extended critique of the previous administration's foreign policy, claiming that its sanctions on Russian oil were a deliberate move to benefit China by forcing Russia to sell it cheap oil. The speaker further alleges that the previous administration's policies, from Afghanistan to trade, were consistently designed to help China and that this was driven by financial corruption within the Biden family. The speaker concludes by celebrating the new tariff as a step toward reasserting American dominance and forcing countries like India to "choose sides," while also expressing a hope for a future where diplomacy could lead to lower oil prices and a weakening of the China-Russia alliance.

NM Max Farberov is a 27-year-old chess instructor, Chessable author, and online speed-chess specialist with a Chess.com blitz rating north of 2600. He joined me after a busy chess summer that included his first European open and one of his best OTB results to date: winning clear first in the Under-2300 section of the Washington International. As Max explains, this breakthrough came only after months of frustration and feeling that he had reached a plateau, making the success all the sweeter. In our conversation, Max and I discussed: Why he stays motivated to pursue tournament chess at an age when many slow down How he built an opening repertoire around the offbeat 1…d6 What he gains from following lesser-known professional tournaments Why speed chess is underrated as a tool for improvement Max's passion for chess is infectious, and our conversation is full of helpful chess improvement advice.
