The Grid 067 ft. Yosha Iglesias – Ace-King Offsuit.

Yosha Iglesias, a poker player, chess master and coach, enters the GRID to talk about a long-awaited hand to be clicked off the GRID: Ace-King offsuit. She throws us back to the boom days of poker in France, where she found herself as a chipleader in an MTT at her college bar. In  a dramatic three-bet pot with a crush, her talent for poker intersected with romance, giving us some unique insight into the term “sapiosexual.”

Yosha was also a guest on Jennifer’s award-winning podcast, Ladies Knight. On that show, she spoke about her work as a chess composer as well as her journey to coming out as a transgender woman. We include a brief, but very moving excerpt on the GRID. Yosha also shared some great news since the recording of the US Chess Women podcast: The French Chess Federation change its policies, and Yosha, along with two other transgender women are now eligible for French women’s events.

Now that Yosha has covered Ace-King Offsuit, there are 102 combos left on the GRID.
