Welcome to Say Chess!
I’m Martin B. Justesen, and here I write about the world of chess—covering everything from its rich history and book publishing to practical tips for chess improvement. As a passionate chess player and a publisher, I share updates on my book projects and write about the chess topics that interest me.
About me
I picked up chess in my late teens. Twenty years later, I’m an avid chess improver, steadily working towards my goal of achieving a 2000 FIDE rating—currently, I’m at around ~1890. When I’m not writing this newsletter or playing chess, I work as an archivist and enjoy life in Denmark with my wife and our four kids. I hold an MA in History, so I’m also naturally interested in the historical and cultural aspects of chess.
