En febrero de 2023, la ajedrecista estadounidense Jennifer Shahade publicó un tuit en el que acusaba al gran maestro Alejandro Ramírez de conducta sexual inapropiada. A raíz de la revelación de Shahade, otras ajedrecistas se sumaron a la causa y se reconocieron como víctimas, lo que provocó un movimiento 'Me Too' en el ajedrez mundial. En la sección ‘Enroque corto', hablamos con Alan Pichot, el gran maestro de moda, tras su reciente medalla en la Olimpiada de Budapest y su primer puesto en el Iberoamericano de Linares. ¿A qué se debe su excelente racha de resultados? Pichot nos habla de las claves competitivas que hay detrás de estos logros y de muchas otras facetas del juego. En ‘La biblioteca de Caissa', el maestro Luisón rinde un sentido homenaje al GM paraguayo Zenón Franco, quien nos dejó el pasado uno de octubre.

Jennifer Shahade, a two-time US Women's Chess Champion, spent her teens and twenties travelling the world playing chess. Tournaments have taken her from Istanbul to Moscow, and introduced her to players from Zambia to China. In this ultra male-dominated sport, Jennifer found shocking sexism, as well as an incredible history of the top female players that has often been ignored. But she also found friendships, feminism and hope. Through her own story as well as in-depth profiles of pioneers of the game , Jennifer invites us into the extremely competitive world of chess. She shows us the rivalry and the camaraderie; the ecstatic highs and the excruciating losses; the glamour and the hard work. She describes the coach who told her that her period will affect her standard of play, and gives us thrilling blow by blow accounts of the matches that made history. Intertwined with Jennifer's own story are those of the top female players from around the world. We meet the famous Polgar sisters, the three Hungarian girls who were all child prodigies; we meet the glamorous jet setters who travel the world partying, and the players who escaped war-torn countries to become champions against the odds. Chess Queens is a fascinating glimpse into the exhilarating world of chess and an essential audiobook for all the aspiring chess queens of today.

It's hard to practice psychology in high stakes situations. But it's necessary. I've been practicing this forever. I practice with chess, in business, in negotiating, in investing. Jennifer Shahade also practices this. Actually, no. She's mastered it. She's the U.S. Women's Chess Champion and a professional poker player. We've been playing chess together since we were kids. And I recently went on her podcast, "The Poker Grid." And I'm airing it here for you. We talk about crypto, diversifying your investments, side hustles, and negotiating. Plus, we talk about the psychology of poker, how to take in information and predict your opponent. Here's the show. I hope you enjoy. - James   I write about all my podcasts!
