45:15 — Relaxation in chess
50:24 — We play blitz
My name is Greg Mustreader, I am a Candidate Master in chess, an entrepreneur and host of several podcasts.
In this podcast, I interview top chess players (my guests include Nepo, Fabi, Aronian, Dubov and many others - the unreleased podcasts will be published in January-February), play against chess AIs, analyze the most interesting chess games and combinations of today and of the past, as well as show you my path in chess and the way I work on my chess improvement (including recaps from the tournaments I play).
I live in Almaty, Kazakhstan and travel the world extensively (been to 50 countries). I'm 30 years old, I have a girlfriend, a dog and two cats. I speak English, Russian, German, and a bit of French and Chinese.
