The idea had always been to combine a game of chess with people who had a connection to the game, even if not always professionally, and tie it up with an entertaining and intriguing interview. In the first season, the first interviewee was heavyweight boxing legend, Lennox Lewis, a known aficionado of the game and who explained how chess helped develop strategic thinking to his bouts in and out of the ring. The final guest was Natan Sharansky who almost lived the famous novella by Stefan Zweig, playing countless games of chess in his mind to remain sane while imprisoned in Siberia.
Just as last year, you can either listen to the programs live from the official website, or listen to them after the fact where all the episodes will be stored.
