R. Praggnanandhaa scripted one of the finest victories of his young career by becoming the first Indian to win Norway Chess, one of the world's most prestigious classical tournaments. The 20-year-old fought back from near the bottom of the standings midway through the event, won four games in a row, and beat Magnus Carlsen twice on his way to the title in the Norwegian great's own backyard. What makes Norway Chess different from other elite tournaments? How significant is this triumph for Praggnanandhaa? And how should we view Carlsen's poor showing in light of his recent performances? In this episode of In Focus, we also discuss the unique Armageddon format, the tournament's famous confessional booth, and the atmosphere surrounding one of the most innovative events on the global chess calendar.

A Note from James:Oh my gosh, one of my favorite guests ever: Ben Mezrich.Ben wrote Bringing Down the House, which became the movie 21. He wrote The Accidental Billionaires, which became The Social Network. And now his latest page-turner, Checkmate, is about one of the most explosive scandals in modern sports: the Hans Niemann chess cheating controversy that took over the world.You remember the story. Magnus Carlsen, the greatest chess player of all time, loses to this completely arrogant, egotistical 19-year-old bad boy of chess. Then Magnus accuses him of cheating. This had basically never happened before at that level in chess.What followed was a viral meltdown: the infamous anal beads tweet, death threats, lawsuits, chess.com, Netflix documentaries, and a chess world at war with itself.Ben spent over a year with Hans Niemann. He got access to Magnus's camp, chess.com, and the drama behind the chessboards. So we talk about whether Hans actually cheated that day, the insane rise of online chess during COVID, the world of prodigies, the generational clash inside elite chess, and how one suspicious game nearly destroyed a young player's career.So welcome to one of my favorite guests, Ben Mezrich.Episode Description:James talks with bestselling author and screenwriter Ben Mezrich about Checkmate, his new book on the Magnus Carlsen–Hans Niemann chess cheating scandal. It's classic Mezrich territory: brilliant young people, high-stakes competition, huge money, a gray area between genius and rule-breaking, and a story that becomes much bigger than the facts alone.The conversation is especially strong because James knows the chess world firsthand. He was a master-level player, helped build early internet chess infrastructure, knows many of the top players, and has commentated on Norway Chess. That gives the interview a different texture: Ben brings the reporting and the narrative access, while James brings the chess context and the ability to test the story move by move.They talk about Hans's rise, Magnus's suspicion, chess.com's cheating algorithms, why online cheating is different from over-the-board cheating, the role of the infamous anal beads tweet, and the psychological cost of being publicly accused without definitive evidence. The question underneath the whole episode is not just “Did Hans cheat?” It's: what happens when reputation, genius, technology, money, and suspicion all collide on one chessboard?What You'll Learn:Why the Carlsen–Niemann scandal became a global story far beyond the chess world.How Ben Mezrich got access to Hans Niemann, chess.com, Magnus's camp, and the hidden details around the scandal.Why cheating online is easier to detect than many people think, while over-the-board cheating may be harder to catch.Why Magnus's accusation is both serious and complicated, even without definitive public evidence.How the anal beads rumor actually started—and why it turned a chess controversy into an internet phenomenon.Why Hans Niemann's comeback to elite chess is so unusual after that level of reputational damage.How Ben thinks about stories involving ambition, genius, scams, gray areas, and young people breaking rules.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Preview: Hans Niemann, Magnus Carlsen, and the cheating accusation[02:59] A Note from James: Ben Mezrich returns[04:17] James's chess background and connection to the story[04:45] Ben's year embedded with Hans Niemann[05:00] Why elite chess players have such unusual personalities[05:42] Why chess carries cultural weight[06:15] Why the scandal exploded worldwide[07:44] Chess.com, streaming, and the billion-dollar chess economy[08:12] The Mezrich formula: genius, ambition, gray areas, and scandal[09:49] Online cheating vs. over-the-board cheating[10:29] Why technology has changed cheating in chess[11:44] The reputational risk of cheating over the board[12:37] Why top-20 chess status matters financially[13:12] Hans Niemann's unusually fast rise[14:00] COVID, online chess, and Hans's obsessive tournament grind[15:49] Suspicious patterns, livestreams, and uncertainty[17:09] Hans's history of online cheating[17:33] Hans living alone in New York as a teenager[18:42] Not getting into Harvard and resetting his life around chess[19:35] James admits he may have been the first person to cheat online[20:42] Why cheating can help build a streaming reputation[21:29] How chess.com detects online cheating[22:04] Magnus's gut feeling after the Sinquefield Cup game[23:19] Magnus's state of mind before playing Hans[24:00] The photographer incident no one knew about[25:19] Magnus confronting the photographer[26:47] Hans's body language during the game[27:32] Why Magnus felt “nobody plays me like this”[28:08] Hans's explanation of the win[29:00] The psychological battle between Hans and Magnus[29:43] Magnus's breakfast with Danny Rensch before the game[31:00] Why prior online cheating changes how opponents experience the board[31:39] Hans's belief in a “chess mafia”[32:44] Hans spiraling after the accusation[34:30] The mental health cost of cheating accusations[35:07] How the anal beads rumor became the whole story[35:41] Ben tracks down the source of the viral tweet[37:54] Could Magnus and Hans ever respect each other?[38:16] The rematch and Magnus's decisive win[39:13] Prodigies, aging, and being replaced[40:28] Why Ben thinks Magnus still believes Hans cheated[41:10] Magnus wanting to confront Hans directly[42:00] Henrik Carlsen, old-world chess honor, and suspicion[43:26] How cheating might have been possible at Sinquefield[44:49] The theory of an accomplice and the limits of evidence[46:00] Chess.com's report and what it did—and didn't—prove[47:14] The suspicious post-game interview[48:10] Why accusation without proof is still dangerous[49:45] Aging, rating decline, and the future of elite chess[51:13] Could Hans Niemann ever become number one?[52:00] Psychology, killer instinct, and the gap between top 10 and number one[53:05] How Hans makes money now[54:08] Turning chess into a stadium sport[55:33] The movie adaptation with Nathan Fielder, Emma Stone, and A24[57:35] Ben's next projects: The Social Reckoning and The Last Orbit[59:21] Ben and James on Billions[59:39] Closing thoughts on chess, storytelling, and CheckmateAdditional Resources:Checkmate: Genius, Lies, Ambition, and the Biggest Scandal in Chess by Ben MezrichBen Mezrich's official websiteChess.com's interview and coverage of Mezrich's CheckmateChess.com's 2022 Hans Niemann reportNetflix's Untold: Chess Mates, the documentary on the Carlsen–Niemann scandalFIDE Ethics and Disciplinary Commission decision related to the Carlsen–Niemann controversyBringing Down the House, the Ben Mezrich book adapted into 21The Accidental Billionaires, the Ben Mezrich book adapted into The Social NetworkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A Note from JamesThis might be the most insane chess story I've ever heard—not even really a chess story, but a cult story. It's wild, intense, and ultimately inspiring. Danny Rensch grew up in a cult in Arizona. At just 10 years old, the cult leader noticed his chess ability, took him away from his parents, and he wouldn't see his mother again for a decade.I first heard Danny's story when we met at Norway Chess a year and a half ago. Over dinner, he told me pieces of what would become his book Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life. I worried later that I'd pushed him into podcast mode before he was ready, but Danny said he was actually grateful for the chance to practice sharing his story out loud. Now, with his book out, he's ready to open up fully.Episode DescriptionDanny Rensch, Chief Chess Officer at Chess.com and author of Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life, shares the extraordinary story of how growing up in a cult shaped his childhood, his chess career, and his path to resilience.From being separated from his mother at age 10, to navigating indoctrination, hierarchy, and trauma, Danny explains how chess became both his prison and his salvation. This conversation is about more than chess—it's about control, identity, purpose, and how to reclaim your life from the stories others force on you.What You'll LearnHow a cult leader used chess as propaganda—and how Danny reclaimed the game as his own.The three pillars of cult life Danny experienced: like vibration, the process, and purpose.Why vulnerability and storytelling can be healing—but also how they can be weaponized.The psychological toll of being told your “purpose” at age 12—and how to build a new one.What Danny learned about resilience, family, and community after leaving the cult.Timestamped Chapters[02:05] A Note from James: introducing Dark Squares[02:34] Danny's childhood in a cult and separation from his mother[03:40] How Danny first shared his story with James in Norway[05:09] Learning to talk about trauma without fear of judgment[07:00] The challenge of context—why cult stories get misunderstood[08:20] Headline version: growing up in the Church of Immortal Consciousness[10:18] Cult hierarchy, trance teachings, and the Shelby School chess team[12:12] Was it spiritual belief—or a scam?[14:15] The role of Trina and Steven Camp, cult leaders and channelers[17:00] How hierarchy and “like vibration” destroyed marriages and families[23:00] The three pillars: like vibration, the process, and purpose[32:28] “The process”: group confession, alcohol, and weaponized vulnerability[41:54] “Purpose”: how chess became Danny's imposed destiny[46:41] What it meant to be told at 12 that chess was his life's purpose[50:18] Family secrets, hidden paternity, and the dangers of indoctrination[55:20] Processing trauma as an adult and writing Dark Squares[02:05] A Note from James: introducing Dark Squares[02:34] Danny's childhood in a cult and separation from his mother[03:40] How Danny first shared his story with James in Norway[05:09] Learning to talk about trauma without fear of judgment[07:00] The challenge of context—why cult stories get misunderstood[08:20] Headline version: growing up in the Church of Immortal Consciousness[10:18] Cult hierarchy, trance teachings, and the Shelby School chess team[12:12] Was it spiritual belief—or a scam?[14:15] The role of Trina and Steven Camp, cult leaders and channelers[17:00] How hierarchy and “like vibration” destroyed marriages and families[23:00] The three pillars: like vibration, the process, and purpose[32:28] “The process”: group confession, alcohol, and weaponized vulnerability[41:54] “Purpose”: how chess became Danny's imposed destiny[46:41] What it meant to be told at 12 that chess was his life's purpose[50:18] Family secrets, hidden paternity, and the dangers of indoctrination[55:20] Processing trauma as an adult and writing Dark Squares[63:28] Early aptitude signs: multiplication tables and ADHD focus[65:22] Childhood acting dreams and practicing “the eyebrow lift”[72:24] The most painful mother–son conversation: loyalty to the cult vs. family[73:39] Giving away belongings before leaving home—grieving his mother alive[87:31] Medical breakdown, ears exploding, and a failed chess career[88:16] Bedridden but discovering the internet: early lessons in tech and online chess[89:16] Buying domains, teaching online, and meeting Eric and Jay[114:25] On Magnus Carlsen: confidence, health, and the “Great White Shark” mindset[116:20] Chess.com and the post-COVID boom: making a living beyond world championshipAdditional Resources

The seventh-EVER episode of the Chicken Chess Club by GMs Jan Gustafsson, Laurent Fressinet & Peter Heine Nielsen. https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbkNjZjVLZWNhbkRhNnJmMmxaT21yZHdzcEFrUXxBQ3Jtc0tsUVoySWVDa0NPSjlQR0E2SGJVWm9QOHk5RHptYlhNdGtJclBMTXBlU0kwTk0wcHEzZnk3Mjl5ZjY1a1dvRlp2SHMtTVUwTElCVFBJMTc0OEVycm1RNmVzSkVRNWJ4NVo0MmJhQTZfVXE0amdmTXo0bw&q=https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2Fchickenchessclub&v=4OP8s9GBr1o (https://linktr.ee/chickenchessclub) The discussion begins on a high with Laurent's incredible victory at the French rapid Championships. Jan & Peter are in Norway for the 10th edition of Norway Chess. So far they've spotted Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri & Wesley So in the wild. The Chessable Masters concluded last week with impressive performances by Ding Liren and Praggnanandhaa. Richard Rapport's switch to Romania sparks some debate about the ease of players being able to switch countries. "What's Wrong with FIDE this Week, Peter?" may be coming to an end as Peter announces his plans to run as deputy President and Fix FIDE Every Week. We end with the big question - who will Laurent nominate as Chicken of the Week?!

I ti år var Kjell Madland dagleg leiar for det som gjekk frå Bryne IL til Bryne FK. Det var ei turbulent tid, og enda opp med mange tankar om klubben han starta fanklubben til i 1992. I dag er han mest kjend for å ha etablert Norway Chess, som byrjar i desse dagar, og er ein dundrande suksess. Me fekk ein lang prat med han. I tillegg tok med telefonen til Molde og fekk snakka med to ferske cupvinnarar Haugen og Grødem.
