Upbeat and enjoyable podcast
Great podcast that pulls you in and is entertaining. Well worth a listen. Look forward to each episode.
Great podcast!
I picked up chess about a year ago and one of the fellas on the podcast has also recently started. It’s great to hear him ask questions that I relate to as a beginner. Super fun group of guys.
