An excellent feature about the coaching career and philosophy of someone I have in great esteem: GM Melik Khachiyan 👏👏
I’ve had the privilege of working with him in talent development initiatives like the FIDE Chessable Academy, the Women In Chess Foundation + Chessable Scholars.

From chess beginner to 2000 in just 2 years? Sounds impossible.

A must-read for #chesspunks and everyone who needs a reminder that finding your calling sometimes takes unexpected turns.

It's not uncommon for big cities to have a park with chess tables, where hustlers and experts gather to play with chess enthusiasts and by-passers.
In my hometown of Lima, Peru, we had two such places and growing up, I would go there to practice with stronger players.

On a day like today the great Vera Menchik was born!
Not only was Vera the first women’s World Champion. She was also the longest-reigning one — 17 years!
More importantly, she paved the way for more #womeninchess.
