Today our expert topic is the grand drama of the iconic board game, Chess.
We'll be focusing mostly on the gameplay itself: some beginner strategies if you'd like to up your game, getting involved in the competitive scene, and maybe a little history.
Jesse's guest is RNZ's own Troy Matich, a producer on Morning Report and a competitive chess player.
As always if you've got questions for Troy, text in on 2101 or email jesse@rnz.co.nz.
