In this episode Ben Graff (he’s a real journalist) and I talk to Sarah Longson of the UK Chess Challenge about what it’s been like running a chess business during lockdown, whether the Queen’s Gambit on Netflix has boosted participation in chess tournaments, and if there is an optimum way to teach chess. And most importantly what was it like appearing on Blue Peter with Gary Kasparov - at the age of 7!
