Podcasts about simen agdestein

This week's guest is author, commentator, and Slavic Linguistics professor at the University of Oslo, IM Atle Gronn. Atle's most recent book, Games and Goals: The Fascinating Chess and Football Careers of Simen Agdestein books, has recently been released in the English language and is one I have been greatly looking forward to reading. It did not disappoint, as it provides a revealing biography of one of the most compelling figures in modern chess history. GM Simen Agdestein, in addition to being a Norwegian chess legend, and the childhood trainer of Magnus Carlsen, Simen was a supremely talented athlete who played for the Norwegian national soccer team. As a strong player from the same generation as Simen, Atle bore witness to Simen's rise, fall, and resurgence, and also witnessed and contextualizes GM Magnus Carlsen's relentless ascent to the top of the chess world.  There are many lessons we all can learn from the stories that Atle shares and I greatly enjoyed chatting with him about his book.  Games and Goals is available from Amazon and other book sellers,  Games and Goals: The Fascinating Chess and Football Careers of Simen Agdestein books  And you can view a Free excerpt here: https://www.newinchess.com/media/wysiwyg/product_pdf/9186.pdf 0:01- Thanks to our sponsor Chessable.com- If you sign up for Chessable pro, please use the link below to help support Perpetual Chess: https://www.chessable.com/pro/?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=benjohnson&utm_campaign=pro 0:02- What made Simen Agdestein a “mythic figure” in the 1980's?

This week we are joined by a legend of Norwegian Chess, GM Simen Agdestein. Simen was the first Norwegian Grandmaster, a childhood trainer of Magnus Carlsen, and is a nine-time champion of Norway, who holds the record of being both the country's youngest and oldest national champion, after winning the title again this year at age 56. As if these feats weren't impressive enough, at the time Simen was around his chess peak (#16 in the world) he was also a star football/soccer player, who played striker on Norway's national team! With such an accomplished resume, one might think things have been easy for Simen, but that has been far from the case. As he discusses in our interview, injuries derailed his chess and football careers simultaneously, and SImen was forced to reassess everything. In our conversation, Simen shares what his vast life experience has taught him about life and chess improvement. Simen also discusses the current chess scene in Norway, and of course, tells plenty of stories about what it was like to coach a young Magnus Carlsen.  Thanks to our Presenting Chess Education Sponsors, Chessable.com Here are a few of their Magnus related courses:  Fight Like Magnus  Grind Like a GM  Magnus Carlsen: Endgame Virtuoso  You can check out my favorite courses here: You can check out some of my recommended courses here: https://go.chessable.com/perpetual-chess-podcast/ 0:02- GM Agdestein reflects on his recent, record-setting National Championship.

Silje har bursdag! Og det blir kake, overraskingar og festivitas. I tillegg kjem Simen Agdestein til oss for å oppsummere sjakk, og gje ein peikepinn før kveldens kamp. Og det blir ny sjakk-duell for Markus!

Ukas gjest har Wikipediaside på 30 forskjellige språk! En briljant norsk idrettsmann, så unik at han har 8 landskamper i fotball - men det er ikke fotballspiller han er mest kjent som! Han har nemlig dominert norsk og internasjonal sjakk i flere tiår! Han har spilt fotball for Lyn, turnert India på en av norgeshistoriens mest spektakulære fotballreiser, han har lært opp Magnus Carlsen og kanskje også Kjetil Rekdal. Det er en stor glede og ære å ønske velkommen til Skal vi danse-deltager, statsviter, forfatter, sjakklærer, stormester, europamester og flere ganger norgesmester i sjakk; Simen Agdestein! Simen forteller om hvor lite skremmende Franco Baresi var som motspiller, om den gangen han stilte til landslagsbowling i dress, om Erik Thorstvedts sjakktalent og om skadeproblemene som ødela både sjakk- og fotballkarrieren. Nettsjef Lars er innom med nyheter fra nivå i 7 i Bergen og Tete har blitt foreslått som ÅRETS TRØNDER!

** Så går det mot hurtigsjakk, lynsjakk og kanskje det fryktede armageddon i Sjakk VM. Simen Agdestein sitter klar for å fortelle hva vi kan vente oss. ** Her får du også høre mer om at en høy andel innvandrere på skolene ikke fører til at elevene får dårligere karakterer. ** Bruk mer penger på skatte-etatens Altinn, eller privatiser den, mener arbeidsgiverforening.

Han har spilt mot begge de to som nå skal kjempe om å få tittelen verdensmester i sjakk. Simen Agdestein forteller hvorfor sjakk-oppgjør ofte blir legendariske, også for alle som ikke vet forskjell på springer og løper, og om hvorfor han nå gjør comeback som sjakkspiller.

* Jens Stoltenberg har fått nok ein regjeringskabal til å gå opp. - Han ladar opp til valet, seier kommentator. - Han har gjort eit sjakktrekk, meiner Simen Agdestein. * - Det er utrolig at eg overlevde slaga frå kjærasten min, seier Shabana Rehman.
