My name is Greg Mustreader, I am a Candidate Master in chess, an entrepreneur and host of several podcasts.I interview top chess players (my guests include Nepo, Fabi, Aronian, Dubov etc.), 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. I live in Almaty, Kazakhstan and travel the world extensively (been to 50 countries). I'm 30 years old, I have a girlfriend, two dogs and two cats. I speak English, Russian, German, and a bit of French and Chinese.  Don't forget to subscribe!
