We are joined this week by a legend of British chess, GM Jonathan Speelman! Jonathan is a three- time British champion, a two-time World Championship Candidate  an author, Chessbase.com columnist, and a trainer. He has been ranked as high as #4 in the world in 1989 and has worked as a second for GMs Viktor Korchnoi, Vishy Anand and Nigel Short. As you might imagine, such a wealth of chess experience gives Jonathan an endless array of stories and a great perspective on what differentiates top players. Jonathan considers questions such as these:  Why does he consider Ivanchuk the most talented player he has ever encountered?  Could Anand potentially have beaten Kasparov in 1993?  Could Jonathan have been World Champion?  Does he regret pursuing chess after studying mathematics at Oxford?  It was quite an honor to hear GM Speelman's modest reflections on a brilliant career.
