From Bored to Board: Age 4 to Blindfold Chess—A Teen's Journey
Description
What starts as a conversation about chess… turns into something much deeper.
In this episode, Morah Tziri sits down with 16-year-old Daniel from Australia who started playing chess at just four years old — and hasn’t really looked back since. From winning tournaments as a little kid to playing full games blindfolded (yes, really), this conversation explores what it actually means to get good at something.
But more than that…
👉 What happens when a hobby becomes your thing
👉 How winning, losing, and pressure shape the way we think
👉 Why being challenged is actually the best gift
👉 And how every child can find something that builds confidence and identity
Even if you don’t know the first thing about chess (same 😅), this episode is for you.
