Published: April 3, 2018, 11 a.m.

In the midst of a very busy month of high profile competitive chess, talented young GM Yaroslav (\u201cYaro\u201d) Zherebukh joined me for a fascinating conversation.\xa0\xa0Yaroslav talked about his upcoming events: the collegiate chess final 4 (our interview was recorded before it took place), the Pro Chess Leage live finals, and last but definitely not least, the upcoming US Chess Championships.\xa0Yaro started strong in last year's U.S. Championship, highlighted by a round 7 win over Fabiano Caruana, so he shared some lessons that he learned from that tournament.\xa0\xa0Naturally, Yaro also weighed in on the candidates and handicapped the World Championship in November. He looks forward to a highly competitive match. Thanks to Yaro for taking time from his busy schedule. You can contact him via\xa0chess.com\xa0here.
