In Episode 170, I converse with Florian Helff, Chess Tournament Manager and Director of Business Development at Corporate Esports Association. In addition to preparing for the Second Corporate Chess Championship, which is taking place virtually from September 4- December 11, he works as a software engineer at Twitch. Furthermore, he is the Club President of the Amazon Chess Club and is the Washington Chess Federation board member for Corporate and Collegiate Chess.

We speak about the benefits of corporate chess programs, reasons to register for the upcoming Second Corporate Chess Championship, the art of giving to charity through chess, quality assurance in chess and programming Amazon's "Working Backwards" principle, the rising chess community on Twitch and more.
