This week’s guest on Perpetual Chess is well-regarded American GM Josh Friedel. Josh is a frequent competitor on the American GM circuit, who also teaches, writes and lectures about chess. We talked about the following:
- His most recent project, a YouTube series called “Autopsy,” in which he does an in-depth analysis of an educational chess game, with an emphasis on highlighting critical mistakes.
- The matter of prearranged draws in GM games (an issue recently raised by Magnus Carlsen) is there a way to avoid them?
- Lots of other topics, including what openings we might expect in the upcoming World Championships, reflections on Sam Shankland’s torrid 2018, and a couple of fun stories about Kasparov and Karpov.
Thanks to Josh for joining me. Check out his new YouTube series here, follow him on twitter here, and Facebook here.
