Customer Reviews
Great podcast but…
Really enjoy this podcast. As a very much an amateur chess player, it’s enjoyable to hear thoughtful insights on top level chess. The one minor complaint is sometimes the voice volume levels are off (definitely better than in the beginning) and Cristian sometimes lowers his voice significantly and it’s hard to hear. Anyways keep up the good work and good luck in the candidates Fabi I hope you get another chance at the WC.
Can barely hear the voices (good podcast)
Nothing negative to say about the content but even with my volume all the way up and headphones on, the voices are low, so I have to listen in a sealed room with the lights off.
Caruana sounds okay, but Chirila has a softer, lower voice and often whispers. Please just boost everything.
Awesome content but audio quality is lacking
Please invest in some good podcasting microphones / sound engineering
