Ep. 257 Lloyd - (1300 USCF)
About this episode
Dr. Kevin Scull interviews Lloyd about his experiences with the Balanced Rook Chess Club and a healthier approach to chess.
This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Lloyd. He runs the Balanced Rook Chess Club in Colorado Springs. We talked extensively about developing a healthier interaction with chess that goes beyond ratings. The Balanced Rook is a social chess club that sees players many ages and ratings having fun in a less anxious environment. We discussed his success as a child playing chess, his retirement, and return to chess. Lloyd hopes to continue improving and return to tournament play soon, but he’s also loving the ratings free approach.
