Chess enjoyment

A very enjoyable podcast full of some laughter, chess conversation and great rapport from the hosts. Look forward to following along with the episodes.

Naz737 ,

Chess Comedy

Rarely do I find myself doubled over laughing, but these hosts obliterate any shred of self composure. They’re a breath of fresh air and help not to take the game (or myself) too seriously with shenanigans, banter, challenges, and PLAY.
