121 Latvian GM Arturs Neiksans earned his Grandmaster title relatively late. At age 28. But that didn’t stop him from becoming a force in the chess world.Not only did he climb to an impressive 2631 FIDE rating…
But even outside of competition, Arturs developed a dynamic career as a coach to top youths, a premier Chessable course creator, and a YouTuber with awesome chess content.
In our interview, we discuss:
• How he helped promising young talent become GMs while working as head coach at the historic Riga Chess School. • His approach to making even his most robust opening courses accessible to club players. • Why he likes to play provocative openings like the Dutch and Scandinavian to take opponents out of their comfort zone. • Building a YouTube channel with popular bootcamps and reviews of classic games. • Does a club player need to worry about which Silician makes the most sense to play at their level?
