It is my sincere hope that she’s better at thorough and objective analysis in chess than she is in journalism.
I hope to interview her soon and I will bring this up.
Judging from those two videos, I love it. The things she is teaches novices are things that I had to learn way back when the hard way: by reading dry chess tomes that were guaranteed to cure insomnia.
Good for her ! Hope she does well with this 🙂
