This is a chat with Ben Graff for the podcast, where we talked about his new book Checkmate, and discussed why you should all buy a copy as a present for your chess-playing friends this Xmas!

Thanks for listening to our podcast!

There are so many ways to get involved with chess.  Add me (@adamraoof) on Facebook and Twitter, for one thing.... and sign up for my newsletter The Chess Circuit at https://chesscircuit.substack.com/

If you are interested in getting involved with my chess tournaments do take a quick look at the calendar at www.chessengland.com - or search for "ECF Chess Calendar" for all the tournaments in England, including mine.
