The 2024 FIDE World Championship has been somewhat surprisingly tense and entertaining, and is tied after 6 games. I was privileged to be joined by two return guests to discuss the following: 

  • IM Michael Rahal (0:00) describes the venue and Singapore and provides behind the scenes details as FIDE’s Press Officer. 
  • GM Jon Ludvig Hammer (35:00)  has been Broadcasting the Event for The TakeTakeTake YouTube Channel and Discusses the Openings, as well as whether he thinks Ding can continue to keep Gukesh on his heels. 

We hope to have more bonus coverage to come, and will definitely be following and covering the World Championship once it has concluded.
