Show notes
This week’s guest, Geert van der Velde, is a semi-retired rock star who has recently managed to turn his passion for all things chess into the role of Chief Content Officer for Chessable.com. Geert is quite knowledgeable about chess books, chess history, and chess teaching, and we hit all of these topics in our conversation. Geert was also able to share lots of information about some exciting projects in the works at Chessable, as well as trends of which we should be aware in the chess education space generally.
