053 The next World Chess Championship match is around the corner! While there’s no Magnus, there’s still plenty to be excited about. This preview episode is made for the club player or casual chess fan - meaning it’s accessible and easy to follow.

I interview FM Carsten Hansen, one of the most prolific chess authors around, and in our discussion, he’ll help you:

1) understand what makes this a rare match-up,
2) the styles of each player and how they’ll clash, and
3) who’s expected to win and why

The match begins Sunday, April 9th. But this episode will be worth listening to even several days after that to help you understand what’s happening.
