What Do You Mean by 'Spicing' Things Up?

043 Born in Romania. Daughter of two International Masters. The young chess star, WGM Sabina Foisor, moved to America as a young adult and conquered the women’s chess scene by winning the 2017 US Women’s Championship.

In this episode, we discuss: 

• What it’s like growing up in a chess family with high expectations for success.
• The emotional journey of preparing & competing for the 2017 US Women’s Championship while her mother became seriously ill.
• Improvement questions on pawn structures, the “right time” to trade queens, and creating an opening repertoire that excites you.
• The surprising career Sabina would’ve attempted if not for chess.
