In Episode 256, I converse with my long-term friend National Master Todd Bryant, Software Engineer at Chess.com, who I first met at the 2006 Eastern Open in Washington, DC.
In addition to programming at Chess.com, Todd enjoys playing lots of speed chess, studying openings, continuously improving, staying in shape through CrossFit and spending time with Lisa Cunningham, his wife, who happens to be our 26th Podcast Guest, and their three kids- Jack, Chloe and Max.
We speak about Chess.com's corporate culture, the art of opening preparation, the juggling of responsibilities, the importance of exercise for chess players, tips for improvement, ways to attract more woman to play in chess, his role as a chess dad and more.
