This week's return guest is the always entertaining and informative, GM Ben Finegold. Ben is a popular Twitch Streamer and YouTuber who has just released his first Chessable course, Starting out with 1. D4.

This episode is no exception, as Ben discusses the status of his OTB retirement, whether Magnus Carlsen's best OTB days are behind him, the resurgence of Hikaru and Fabiano, and why doing a course on 1.

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.
