043 Born in Romania. Daughter of two International Masters. The young chess star, WGM Sabina Foisor, moved to America as a young adult and conquered the women’s chess scene by winning the 2017 US Women’s Championship.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What it’s like growing up in a chess family with high expectations for success.
- The emotional journey of preparing & competing for the 2017 US Women’s Championship while her mother became seriously ill.
- Improvement questions on pawn structures, the “right time” to trade queens, and creating an opening repertoire that excites you.
- The surprising career Sabina would’ve attempted if not for chess.
