My name is Greg Mustreader, I am a Candidate Master in chess, an entrepreneur and host of several podcasts.

In this channel, I interview top chess players (my guests include Nepo, Fabi, Kramnik, Aronian, Naroditsky and many others), play against chess AIs, analyze the most interesting chess games and combinations of today and of the past, as well as show you my path in chess and the way I work on my chess improvement (including recaps from the tournaments I play).

I live in Almaty, Kazakhstan and travel the world extensively (been to 50 countries). I'm 31 year old, I have a girlfriend, three dogs and three cats. I speak English, Russian, German, and a bit of French and Chinese.
