NM Sophie Morris-Suzuki

On 64: A Chess Podcast's final episode of 2021, I spoke to NM Sophie Morris Suzuki, who took 5th place at the U.S. Junior Women's Championship earlier in 2021 while on a gap break from college. We had actually recorded an episode together back in July, but for some reason Zoom did not record my audio while we taped the episode and as a result I could not actually release the episode. I'd been waiting to tape an episode with Sophie for months and I'm glad we could end 2021 on a high note, reflecting on chess this year and talking about the future!

In brief, we talked about...

  • Life (i.e. school, COVID, etc.) getting in the way of playing chess

  • Sophie's experiences playing in the 2021 U.S. Junior Women's Championship + 2022 chess goals

  • Sophie and I also talk about being (former) gamers, and why chess is superior to any video game

  • I reveal some of my plans for the podcast + content creation in 2022

  • One final Instant Insights for 2021
