Speaking & Events

I am sometimes available for in-person lectures, simuls, or talks on chess. I’m also an expert on broader applications of chess-related topics including strategic thinking, mindset, game theory, and AI.

I’ve been featured as an expert on chess strategy on BBC, Vox, and The Atlantic.

I bring my experience from chess, poker, and data science to bear on any topic. I tend to have a unique perspective: it’s unlikely you’ll have heard what I have to say anywhere else.

If you’d like to get a sense of my speaking style, you can watch replays of my livestream, where I interview chess experts every week.

My in-person speaking fees start at $1000, not including travel and expenses. An exception is events benefitting junior players in the Nebraska area, which I will do at no cost if my schedule allows.

If you would like to book an in-person event, please contact me with details of what you have in mind.
