This week I talked to 31 year old programmer, chess player, and entrepreneur David Kramaley, who is the co-founder and CEO of\xa0Chessable, a fast growing chess-educational start up.\xa0During our conversation,David and I discuss How he caught the "chess bug" in his early 20's. and how that enthusiasm ultimately led to the launch of Chessable. With its co-founder,\xa0IM John Bartholomew\xa0David launched Chessable in February of 2016.\xa0What lessons did David learn from his prior startup, Sharkius? What is he doing to make sure he strikes the right balance between product development and marketing?\xa0What new features are forthcoming from Chessable?
