b'The Perpetual Chess Adult Improver Series returns to spotlight another amateur from the chess community. This week\\u2019s guest is Chris Duncan. Chris is a 24 year old Army logistician and Psychology Graduate Student who\\xa0shares a powerful story of the power of chess to bridge cultural gaps.In our interview, we discuss Chris\\u2019 background and \\u201con/off\\u201d relationship with chess, but we primarily focus on the way that chess became a welcome distraction from the stresses of being stationed abroad in 2022. As Chris explains, a shared interest in chess amongst many military members culminated in a memorable chess tournament that brought together US and Polish military members. Chris also discusses some of his favorite chess learning resources, and the role that he hopes chess will play in his life in future years and decades. I really enjoyed hearing Chris\\u2019 unique story and thank him for sharing it with us.
