Sasi: Women only chess tournaments are popular because girls like them. She says they provide opportunities for women to shine, make money and travel the world. The negative side of it is that people constantly ask why there aren't more female players. Sasi's new book will be published in April by Simon & Schuster at a cost of $30.

In this episode we sit down with Jennifer Shahade, a two-time U.S. Women’s Chess Champion, author, speaker, and professional poker player whose new book, Chess Queens, is the true story of the greatest female players of all time interwoven with her own experiences as a chess champion.
