This week's guest is U.S. Chess Hall of Famer GM Maurice Ashley. Maurice will forever be known as the first African American to earn the Grandmaster title, yet he has gone on to build a varied and distinguished career across all facets of the game. He is a popular author and highly regarded Chessable creator, a teacher, an organizer, and a frequent commentator for major chess events, often from the St. Louis Chess Club. Maurice and I discussed: His perspective on chess improvement as a rare late starter who began tournament play at fourteen and still reached the Grandmaster level What we can learn from the ascent of GM Brewington Hardaway, who recently became the second African American GM at age fifteen The difference between being competitive and striving for excellence We also touched on the lessons Maurice learned from organizing the “Millionaire Chess” tournaments, his passion for salsa dancing and puzzle composition, and whether he has experienced any “pinch me moments” on his journey from “walking barefoot to school in Jamaica” to giving TED Talks and teaching chess to Will Smith. I have long looked forward to interviewing Maurice, and the conversation did not disappoint. https://www.chessable.com/author/GMAshley/ 0:00- Check out Maurice's popular and highly reviewed Chessable courses here: https://www.chessable.com/author/GMAshley/ 0:02- Maurice's chess improvement advice- why people shouldn't focus on doing things “quickly”  Mentioned: New York Times article about the Raging Rooks https://www.nytimes.com/1991/04/26/nyregion/harlem-teen-agers-checkmate-a-stereotype.html Maurice's Chessable Q & A- https://www.chessable.com/discussion/thread/1187730/ask-maurice-ashley-anything-special-qa-/ Cover Stories with Chess Life Interview: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-sskej-f237dc?download=1 0:08- Maurice's observations about young GM Brewington Hardaway, who recently became the 2nd ever African American GM, at age 15.  Mentioned: You can read Maurice's article about GM Hardaway here: https://new.uschess.org/news/inside-story-long-time-coming 15:00- Patreon mailbag question: Maurice's siblings are kickboxing and boxing champions- what did they do to cultivate such achievement?  18:00- Which chess player got GM Maurice Ashley into salsa dancing?  21:00- Patreon mailbag question: What are Maurice's reflection on the Millionare Chess tournaments that he founded?  25:00- What is the vision for Maurice's “Clutch Chess, which took place recently  at the St. Louis Chess Club?  29:00- Is commentating still Maurice's favorite professional activity? 33:00- Maurice's passion for designing chess puzzles and courses  Mentioned: The puzzle that (temporarily) stumped MVL is here: https://x.com/MauriceAshley/status/1609261621247086592?s=20 39:00- Has Maurice ever had a “pinch me” moment?  42:00- Maurice's struggles after earning the GM title 44:00- The origins of Maurice's communication skills  46:00- What does Maurice want his chess legacy to be?  48:00- Maurice's next projects 51:00- Thanks to Maurice for joining me!

Moody Movies: Andrei Rublev (1966), Orlando (1992), Transit (2018), Chess of the Wind (1976), La Bête (2024), Babyteeth (2020). Kylie and Elliott are joined by Lily Kazimiera—a Toronto-based, Alberta-born picture editor, actor, writer, and filmmaker— for an Unconventional Period Piece Syllabus. The three start with an interrogation on genre, why period pieces connect or do not connect for each of them. In turning to the six films curated by Lily, they consider what it means to create art in times of destruction, consider the fluidity of self in a sumptuous film, feel the radical content and impeccable setting of a miracle movie, get walloped by capital C choices, feel the terror deep in their bones, and consider why messy, human movies often act as emotional exfoliants. Guest information: Lily Kazimiera is a Toronto-based, Alberta-born picture editor, actor, writer, and filmmaker, best known as a series lead and contributing writer on the Canadian Screen Award-winning CBC Gem series "I Hate People, People Hate Me." She primarily works as a film editor and Assistant Picture Editor under the Director's Guild of Ontario. In her spare time, she is active on Letterboxd and her Substack page, “Intakes”, and serves as a founding member of Queer In Post, an organization that provides career development and community-building resources to established and aspiring 2SLGBTQIA+ workers across all areas of Canadian post-production.

Ten weeks into the 2025 NFL season, Adam and Mike are back on the 4D Chess Dynasty Football Podcast to break down one of the biggest dynasty storylines of the year: What the WoRP data is telling us — and whether we're entering a brand-new era of Superflex roster construction.With quarterback play tanking across the league and elite production evaporating, the guys ask the tough questions:✅ Are we witnessing a massive shift in dynasty QB value? ✅ Has the traditional Superflex blueprint finally broken? ✅ Do QBs still deserve their premium, or is the market about to correct? ✅ How should contenders vs. rebuilders adjust right now? ✅ Where should you be placing your bets for 2025 and beyond?Adam and Mike dive deep into WoRP trends, positional leverage, and the ripple effects of a season where QBs have been actively hurting fantasy lineups instead of winning them.If you want to stay ahead of the value shift before your league catches up, this episode will help you rethink roster construction, identify edge cases, and capitalize on the changing QB landscape.

The Sadducees, who were convinced that they knew the Scriptures better than Jesus, came to Him with a trick question. Actually, it was more like inviting Him to a game of chess. They thought they could corner Jesus into an unwinnable position and, at the same time, prove their own beliefs. But they learned that day that you don't play chess with the King. Join Pastor Chris for a look at one of the most breathtaking examples of Jesus' teaching-- and yet another glimpse of His kingly authority.

Margaret joins Nuala McGovern to discuss Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts and reflect on her life, her work and the power of knowing her own mind.Pornography featuring strangulation or suffocation - often called choking - is due to be criminalised across the UK as part of government plans to tackle violence against women and girls. It follows an independent review which found depictions of choking were "rife" on mainstream porn sites and had helped normalise the act among young people. Gemma Kelly, policy consultant on the review, and Professor Clare McGlynn, leading expert on VAWG and gender equality, discuss. The Mercury Prize-nominated singer-songwriter Cat Burns has also just released her new album, How to Be Human. She joins Nuala to discuss her new album and taking part in Celebrity Traitors. Writer and producer Nova Reid joins Anita Rani to talk about the late Dame Jocelyn Barrow, the race relations campaigner and the first black female governor of the BBC whose story Nova tells in her new podcast, Hidden Histories with Nova Reid. The interview includes a clip of Jocelyn from 2017 sharing her thoughts with The University of Law on what she considered to be the greatest improvements in diversity.Is having a boyfriend now embarrassing? Writer Chanté Joseph recently explored this idea in an article for Vogue and on social media, observing a noticeable shift in how people - particularly heterosexual women - present their relationships online. Instead of posting clear photos of their romantic partners, many are choosing subtler signals: a hand on a steering wheel, clinking glasses, or even blurring out faces in wedding pictures. But why the change? Anita hears more from Chante. A grande dame of musical theatre, Elaine Paige made her West End debut in the 1960s and shot to fame in 1978 playing Eva Perón in Evita, going on to star in Cats, Chess, Sunset Boulevard and many more. Elaine talks to Anita about her damehood, fostering the next generation of talent and having stage fright. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

The precarious situation the world is now in at every fractal level, from the macro social political level to the micro-emotional, can be considered similar to that of Zugzwang, a position in the game of chess where one must make a move, but every option loses. In this timely and urgent teaching, Shunyamurti reveals that this deadlock is of a divine nature, acting as the final catalyst for the soul to choose to awaken from the illusion of the burden and control of a fictional ego character and return home to the stillness of the Self.

What happens when your purpose gets weaponized, relationships are rewritten by group doctrine, and chess becomes both sanctuary and battleground? In this powerful second part of our convo with Danny Rensch, we return to unpack life after his “purpose ordainment,” and the heartbreak of being separated from his mother by cult coercion. With raw honesty, Danny shares how spiritual manipulation, covert contracts, and collective pressure led to the deepest trauma of his youth and how healing and reconnection became possible, despite loss and pain. We chat about his wild chess tournament sagas, the story of Igor (the inappropriate Russian master with a soft spot for broken kids), and the unraveling of the Church of Immortal Consciousness as generations, money, and ideals collided. Danny gets real about calling things what they are, facing the dark side of “doing good,” and why his redemption arc is proof that you are not what happens to you—you are what you choose to become. We also drop a secret character from his book who collided with NXIVM. File this one under: complex, courageous, and essential listening.Fill in the gaps in our convo and read Danny's gripping memoir, Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life.

In this episode we welcome two remarkable newcomers to the Ojai, California community: Susanne Chess and Bob Evans. Susanne, a founding member of Tiabzu LLC (based in Ojai) whose mission is to reinvent desalination through modular, deep-sea-inspired reverse-osmosis systems that dramatically reduce energy demand and harm to marine ecosystems. Tiabzu+2Tiabzu+2 Bob is a visionary ocean-entrepreneur, artist and photographer who has logged over 5,000 hours underwater, documented offshore oil-platform ecosystems and now explores how those very structures can be re-envisioned. bobevansphotography.comWe dig into the enduring charms and layered history of Ojai — its origins in the Chumash word 'awha'y, the transformation from orange orchards to boutique valley community and the pull of places like Wheeler Hot Springs as a local retreat.We also explore the cutting-edge frontiers: Susanne's work at Tiabzu, using subsea-oil & gas tech to make fresh water more sustainably. And Bob's unique vantage: underwater photography, marine stewardship, and how coastal infrastructure might become underwater oases instead of rusty relics.We talked about Ojai's famous friendliness, the couple's other inventions such as aerodynamic pods that reduce gas mileage by hundreds of dollars per year (AeroHance.com), and Bart's Books and Barbara Bowman's. We did not talk about the lost civilization of Atlantis, Moroccan spice blends or Sigmund Freud's accomplished progeny.Whether you're drawn to the stillness of the valley, the deep blue below the waves, or the promise of innovation that cares for both — this conversation spans local place-making and global impact.

Fresh off her third consecutive (and fourth overall) U.S. Women's Championship title, I was honored to catch up with 22-year-old IM Carissa Yip. Carissa has taken a gap year from Stanford University and is immersed in a demanding schedule of training and competition. She's had some excellent results this year and is now ranked #21 among women in the world. Despite her success, Carissa has also experienced the emotional ups and downs that every serious chess player can relate to. In our conversation, she discusses: Her personal recollections of GM Daniel Naroditsky, including how he once went out of his way to help her prepare during a major tournament. The helpful opening advice recently shared with her by her friend and coach, GM Awonder Liang. How she overcame sluggish starts to win both the 2025 U.S. Women's Championship and the Cairns Cup. Carissa shared a mix of funny stories and thoughtful reflections on her training regimen, the gender gap in chess, and her advice for improvement. She even recommended a novel to read and touched on her passion for writing. I really enjoyed catching up with Carissa and am excited to see her bright future continue to unfold.  0:00- Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com!

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.How do you go from barefoot kid to international chess master and co-founder of Chess.com? In this epic first installment, we sat with Danny Rensch to peel back the curtain on his wild journey growing up in the Church of Immortal Consciousness—a high-control Arizona collective commune led by a self-proclaimed trance medium guided by the spirit of "Dr. Duran." Danny shares what life was like growing up in a merged-finances, communal-living environment fueled by spiritual teachings, EST-style group processing, and just enough bathwater-sharing to make any outsider's eyebrows shoot up. From childhood freedom and chaos to early red flags, shifting loyalties, and the beginnings of his path out via chess, Danny's story is a rollercoaster of agency, paradox, and hope. Expect deep dives into cult philosophy, spiritual skepticism, the lure of community, and how genius can bloom in the strangest soil—all before we even get to the chess part. Come for the cult tale and stay for the cliffhanger: part two is a pawn move away.Whether or not you play chess you MUST check out Danny's memoir, Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life.
