092 It’s rare to see an adult chase a title and work full-time as a chess content creator. With passion and confidence, that’s exactly what this week’s guest, Elaynah, is doing with her chess life. 

It's an inspiring journey because, only two years ago, she was an absolute beginner who was beaten easily by her cousin at a Christmas party.

Now?

She’s rated 1800 Chess.com Rapid and has 22K followers for her chess Twitch channel - with both of those numbers quickly rising!

In this episode, we chat:

• Her interest in getting chess media to focus more on adult improvers.
• What it’s like having IM Kostya Kavutskiy, of the Chess Dojo, as her coach.
• Why she expanded her chess content beyond streaming and into podcasting.
• Her plans to reach 2000 Chess.com Rapid this year.
