Expanding Connections in the Chess Community w/ WIM Lena Miladinovic

056 Coach. Titled player. Entrepreneur. These are just a few of the impressive achievements of WIM Lena Miladinovic. Hailing from Serbia, and becoming a 3-time national champion, Lena has experienced nearly every major corner of the chess world.

She’s also run tournaments, become a FIDE-certified arbiter, and in recent years built a unique chess business.

Lena wants to make it easier for the chess community to connect. To find each other. And expand on their love for the game.

So, she created a company called Outpost, which does exactly that.

In this episode, we discuss Lena’s exciting chess journey, a key lesson she learned from years of coaching that’ll help adult improvers, and the details of her “LinkedIn for Chess” business.
