WFM Nastya Matus: A Hidden Gem in the Chess World

FMs and WFMs are the hidden gems of the chess world. Overlooked as the world focuses on GM and IM games, FMs and WFMs are more relatable to the common mortal like me, an untitled player. I went to the 2022 Chicago Open and sat down with 17-year-old WFM Nastassja “Nastya” Matus, a former second-string player on the Minnesota Blizzard in the PRO Chess League.
