Inhalt: Ein einstiger ukrainischer Wirtschaftsflüchtling ist der 43-jährige Großmeister Michael Prusikin. Er trainiert zurzeit einige der hoffnungsvollsten Talente im deutschen Schach: Jana Schneider, Annmarie Mütsch, und viele mehr. Der große Victor Kortschnoi hat ihm einst einen Ritterschlag verpasst. Und auch mit Caruana, Aronian und Co. hat Prusikin schon die Klingen gekreuzt. Im Schulschachprojekt Miesbach hat er auch bereits viel Arbeit an der Basis betrieben. Außerdem geht er gerne auf Schachreisen und schreibt Schachbücher. Der sympathische Interviewgast erzählt dem Gastinterviewer Harald Schneider-Zinner auch, wie das damals mit der deutschen Meisterschaft war. Bleibt nur die Frage ungeklärt: Hat Michael Prusikin tatsächlich einen Hund?

Além de ser Servidor Público Federal, Glaucio também é streamer do chess.com.

In Episode 122, I have the privilege of conversing with Grandmaster, Alexander Shabalov, an American chess grandmaster and a four-time winner of the United States Chess Championship (1993, 2000, 2003, 2007). He was born in Riga, Latvia, and like his fellow Latvians Aleksejs Shirov and Mikhail Tal, he is known for courting complications even at the cost of objective soundness. We speak about his coaching from Mikhail Tail, resources for grandmaster development, tactics, Shirov's knowledge of endgames, balances, ideas for chess improvement, the art of confidence, opening repertoires, coaching tips, the return to over the board play and more.
