What makes a world-class chess player? Few people can answer that better than GM Vladimir Chuchelov. The coach behind some of the top players talks about working with Fabiano Caruana and Anish Giri, shares insights on coaching and chess improvement, and the conversation turns to the once-heated debate over Caruana’s “natural talent”, including Daniil Dubov’s comments. Vladimir closes by offering a new way to look at the game—one that could change how you study. Don’t miss it!
