As someone who as just been getting into chess, this podcast has been so great. Both Fabi and Cristian give the best and most fair breakdown of the chess scene, and the interviews are always interesting. I only wish they uploaded more frequently and regularly.

I like the podcast, its very interesting. But sometimes I want to give up, like when Fabi rants on how fans dont understand anything. (In „its almost over“ for example.) Yes thats maybe true. I easily agree that lots of comments in live chats are dumb and annoying, and those people really dont know what they are talking about. I just enjoy to watch games. I cannot explain why since I really maybe do not understand half of what could be interesting but I do watch a lot and enjoy it. Did absolutely not enjoy that episode. Thanks Cristian for trying to mitigate at least.
