Martin B. Justesen

Martin Justesen is a published chess author from Denmark. Martin's books are aimed for adult improvers like him, across all levels. He recently adapted Jose Raul Capablanca's classic "Chess Fundamentals" into algebraic notation so that newer players would be able to tap into his vast knowledge. He's also written books on blindfold endgame calculation, "headachingly hard" mate-in-two puzzles, and even an opening journal for recording OTB ideas in openings. Because Martin is Danish, we also talked a bit about Danish chess and this episode has made me really hyped to try out OTB chess in Denmark. I want to thank Martin for coming onto the show this week and for tolerating me butchering Danish pronunciations!

Some highlights from this week's episode:

  • Martin talks a bit about what he's currently doing in chess -- playing in a weekly tournament, possibly playing some league chess, and taking lessons

  • Why did Martin decide to start writing chess books?

  • Logistical difficulties with publishing his most recent book

  • Will we ever see Martin's books adapted to a digital format (i.e. Chessable)?

  • Danish chess -- Nimzowitch, Larsen, Nielsen, and a big question -- will Martin and I play OTB chess against each other in Copenhagen?

  • How do Danes feel about their fellow Scandinavian, Magnus Carlsen?

  • Danish chess culture

  • Another edition of Aimchess Instant Insights!
