Avetik Grigoryan is a chess grandmaster.
He is not just a grandmaster. With a peak ELO rating of more than 2600 he is a super grandmaster. Another 150 rating points and he would be a world champion contender. He created and runs Chess Mood which is one of the best sites to learn how to play chess and become stronger and stronger.
Avetik is also a writer. He has an extremely pithy and powerful style with staccato rhythm and great cliffhanger sense. He writes on chess and personal growth and how the two intersect. Want to check out for yourself how effective he is? You can do so here.
He feels he has learnt a great deal from my work and would like to propagate it in his own way. I support him in this.
Personally, I think he could make a great deal of money if he started writing thrillers in his unique style. But I digress.
Avetik also has a podcast and he interviewed me for this.
I thought you would find it interesting.
You can listen to it here.
Peace!
