On this holiday week, with The Perpetual Chess Podcast having recently turned 5 years old, it seemed like an appropriate time to feature myself as \u201cthe guest\u201d on Perpetual Chess. In order to help out, I brought in longtime listener of the pod, chess journalist and improver, Chris Wainscott, to perform hosting duties. Chris and I covered lots of ground, as he asked me about the origins of Perpetual Chess, its growth over the years, my approach to interviewing people, favorite interview types and \u201cdream guests.\u201d He asked probing questions about\xa0 my own chess origins and improvement efforts. Although I do prefer being the interviewer rather than the interviewed, it was fun to play the other role and to answer so many good listener questions. Details and show notes are below.\xa0\n\n\n0:00-\xa0 \xa0 My chess background, and when did chess initially captivate me?\n15:00-\xa0 There are always great new courses from Chessable including FM Kamil Plichta\u2019s Lifetime Repertoires: Accelerated Dragon.
