Yuanling wowed me. Of course, her accomplishments as a chess player are mighty: She’s been the #1 female Canadian player and the youngest Canadian female to earn the WIM title.And, as you’ll hear, Yuanling has a great ability to find meaningful connections between chess and life - a topic we discuss at length in this episode.If that weren’t enough, she has a compassionate heart.In 2009, she launched the non-profit Chess in Library program that offers chess instruction to underprivileged people in Toronto.While Yuanling has since built a separate career from chess, having attended Yale University and become a successful investment analyst…She’s still deeply connected to her lifelong passion for chess and is a great ambassador for the game, as well as an advocate for women and girls in chess.Also in this episode:Redefining the meaning of “losing” in chess and life.The myth of talent for becoming a chess master.A helpful approach anyone can use to encourage more girls to get involved in chess.More From Yuanling:WebsiteTwitter>> Download my latest, FREE audio content: 7 Quick Tips for Rock-Solid Chess Improvement (From Guests of The Chess Experience)--------Want to join my exclusive community for adult chess improvers?Chess Improver Monthly  offers:Bonus interview content from the podcast.Live Q&A coaching & game review from titled players to help your chess.Live video chats w/ me & fellow adult improvers to have fun & stay motivated.Much more! Check out all the membership benefits here.------------>> Join my official FREE club for The Chess Experience on Chess.com<< (PROMOTION)
