The Adult Improver Chess Life with Sam Canciobello
About this episode
078 Dedicating three years of your life to chess as an adult is huge. Especially when it includes OTB classical tournaments and running a chess YouTube channel. That’s been the story of Sam Canciobello.
Inspired by the Queen’s Gambit, her passion for chess - now in its fourth year - has been consistent and impressive.
In this episode, we cover the different stages of her chess life, her long-term goals, and lessons she’s learned along the way. We also discuss:
- Was it worthwhile for her to spend a large volume of time on openings at the beginning of her journey?
- What factors have helped her improve the most?
- Why great women players had a big impact on her chess life.
