120 Bishops, Bullet, and Bobby Fischer: Daniel Lona Interviewed By Omar Mills, Part II

NOTE: This is the second half of the conversation of Daniel Lona being interviewed by Omar Mills. The first half is the previous episode, Ep. 119. 

Daniel Lona celebrates the three-year anniversary of hosting The Chess Experience by sitting in the guest chair, interviewed by former guest and fellow adult club player Omar Mills.

Three years ago, Daniel Lona launched The Chess Experience with a simple yet unique mission: to create chess content by and for adult improvers - a rare thing in the chess world at that time.

 In this episode, he discusses: 

• What makes chess "real"? Is a 3-minute blitz game fundamentally the same as a 5-hour classical battle?
• Finding a balance between growing chess through Esports vs preserving traditional formats.
• Daniel’s #1 chess wish (and all of his answers to the rapid-fire questions he asks his guests.)

PLUS: Get a chance to win Omar Mills' new Chessable course (with full video) this week: "Chess Destiny: Lessons from an Adult Improver and His Coach.”
