[TV] Chess TV Show on BBC2

Is crap

I watched 5 mins. of this stuff. Someone moving a bishop into direct taking line of a castle. I mean - I'm crap at
chess, but even I wouldn't make that mistake. Absolute shite.

 

[Is it PotG?]

I've played quite a bit over many years at a decent level.
The 'checkmate' obsession is a load of plop and few games beyond the age of 10 end that way.
The presenter is awful.
The focus on the personalities is poor, we want to see more of the match ...The Master Game was essential viewing as a kid.
It's shite.

Oh, chess, I thought the TV show was about furniture.

...The Master Game was essential viewing as a kid.
It's shite.

Wasn’t it just.

Yes, total bobbins.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Hmmm.

I like it

 

[Lankyseagull]

Bandit would have made a great host!

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I watched most of it on my own, but right at the end I was joined by my Czech mate.

 

[Albion my Albion]

I watched most of it on my own, but right at the end I was joined by my Czech mate.

And you both were able to really enjoy a session of true Bohemian "Chess" Rhapsody.

Was you living in a castle?
