078 Dedicating three years of your life to chess as an adult is huge. Especially when it includes OTB classical tournaments and running a chess YouTube channel. That’s been the story of Sam Canciobello.

Inspired by the Queen’s Gambit, her passion for chess - now in its fourth year - has been consistent and impressive.

In this episode, we cover the different stages of her chess life, her long-term goals, and lessons she’s learned along the way. We also discuss:

Was it worthwhile for her to spend a large volume of time on openings at the beginning of her journey?
What factors have helped her improve the most?
Why great women players had a big impact on her chess life.
