David Llada is one of the most prolific chess photographers in history, who has documented the highest levels of chess across the planet over the last two decades. As a former journalist and deeply devoted chess fan, he has poured his soul into forging friendships with chess players and into promoting the sport. On this week's episode of 64, I spoke to David about a wide range of topics, such as the essence of chess photography, his current job with FIDE as its Chief Marketing & Communications Officer, the chess boom in 2020, female representation in chess, and Anatoly Karpov anecdotes. David's book "The Thinkers" can be purchased on Amazon and he is currently working on a sequel. Until then, you can follow him on Twitter, @davidllada.
