Chess Life Cover Stories with IM Eric Rosen [PODCAST]

IM Eric Rosen with Magnus Carlsen

The February 2019 edition of “Cover Stories with Chess Life” is now live! This monthly podcast, hosted by Senior Director of Strategic Communication Daniel Lucas, goes in depth and behind the scenes for each month’s cover story. This month, we talk to IM Eric Rosen, who not only took the cover photo that graces our February issue and the inside article photos, but who also did a Twitter takeover for US Chess from the London championship venue. Extra features include “Checking in with Jen” in which our Senior Digital Editor Jennifer Shahade discusses what is new and upcoming on CLO at uschess.org/clo as well as our social media networks, including YouTube, where you can find the video of Timur Gareyev “chess-diving.” This month, Jennifer discusses the U.S. Amateur Team events and a brand new elite women’s event on the U.S. calendar: the Cairns Cup at the Saint Louis Chess Club, which will be the strongest women’s event in US Chess history. We also discuss Jen’s brand new podcast Ladies Knight, which drops on the third Tuesday of every month. And don’t miss your chance at winning a $50 gift certificate to USCFSales.com!
