Ep. 58: Gambit Openings, Students Cheating During Lessons, Bishop & Knight Mate, Sandbagging, Time Controls, Improvement & More feat. NM Nick Panico

This week I spoke with National Master Nick Panico. Nick is a fellow educator with a background in science and has also been active as a storm chaser. Nick shared his vast experience from the amateur chess scene and our conversation went in a lot of interesting directions. Some of our talking points include the following:

  • Tips for improvers
  • The amateur tournament scene
  • Should you play gambit openings?
  • Cheating & sandbagging
  • Bishop & knight mate
  • Nick's journey to NM
  • Online vs. OTB chess
