Summary

This week's guest on Perpetual Chess is USCF Master Fred Wilson. Fred is a chess author, teacher and for forty-five years, he has run a business, selling used and rare chess books! He also still competes actively, and he recently became one of the oldest US chess players to attain the USCF Master title for the first time, at the age of 71. How did he do it? Fred joins us to tell us just that, as we discussed the following topics: His #1 piece of advice for older chess players, along with plenty of study tips and recommendations of chess books. His stories from his time hosting a chess interview show, "Chess and Books with Fred WIlson," in the early 2000s for the Internet Chess Club. Fred discusses his favorite guests, and reveals what has become of the audio files of these interviews. His memories of a few of his encounters with Bobby Fischer and other NY chess personalities. Thanks to Fred for joining me, check out the books he has written here. You can see the list of books he is currently selling here, or visit his store in NYC at: 41 Union Square West (at 17th Street), Suite 718, New York 10003. Learn more about your ad choices.
