Netflix’s show The Queen’s Gambit gave us a glimpse into the world of chess. But what is it really like? In this episode, we have chess prodigy and master, Joshua Colas, talking about how he got started and his journey to becoming the youngest black chess master at 12! We also discuss his experience as a Black man in this predominantly white world and how he hopes for chess to grow in the years to come.
I want to hear your thoughts so make sure to leave a rating and a review!
