EP.39 - Coach Jay Stallings
"Coach Jay" Stallings has taught over 35,000 students to play chess over the past 23 years. Jay takes us back to the beginning (1994) when you counted full-time chess coaches nationwide on your fingers. Jay\xa0shares with us many of the teaching tricks and recommendations for improvement that he has gleaned from years of experience as he has refined what ultimately became\xa0Coach Jay's Chess Academy.\xa0He also assesses the general state of the chess world; discusses some of his current projects, including a\xa0Kickstarter project aimed at sharing his educational materials and promoting chess; and the\xa0Sean Reader Fund, which, among other programs, provides financial assistance to those who love chess but can\u2019t afford tournaments and classes.
