Ep 100: Sicilian Advice: WIM Tea Gueci, A Top Italian Female Player & Chess Coach

Aug 14, 2024
 

She’s rated one of Italy’s top female players and has coached adult improvers for years.

And she is this show’s first Italian guest!

WIM Tea Guecci has had an impressive chess career. She broke records by age twelve, becoming the youngest ever to win the Italian Women’s Chess Championship.

She’s also played and represented her country in two Chess Olympiads. 

Recently, she launched her first Chessable course called, “My Secret Sveshnikov: The Sicilian by a Sicilian.”

NOTE: To win the full video version of Tea’s course for free, follow me on Twitter for instructions on the giveaway Chessable & I will be doing between 8/14 and 8/19.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The most common mistakes her adult improvers students make (and how to avoid them.)
  • How well can you really learn from reviewing games on your own versus with a coach?
  • What factors to consider in choosing which Sicilian to play.
