4.2. A Chess Master Plans His Future

Meet Vignesh Panchanatham: Princeton junior from Cupertino, CA. Vignesh sits down with Nathan as they consider where they see their future selves, discussing the merits of city versus suburb and whether they would send their children to private or public school. As an avid cook and baker, he plans out a hypothetical dinner party itinerary "Come Dine With Me"-style, beginning with appetizers and ending with dessert plus entertainment. He also shares tips for prospective chess players, an explanation of ultimate frisbee and its similarities (or lack thereof?) to netball, and how he goes about maintaining an inbox with no more than 10 emails on any given day.
