This week Laurent has had some adventures in the Bundesliga while Jan recovers from a rare and unknown illness. Peter has Big Luggage News.


Magnus Carlsen has been playing poker in Las Vegas and he may not be ready for a career switch (yet!).


The Leon Masters was a rematch of the 2012 WC match between Anand & Gelfand.


In FIDE news, Peter joined a debate with Baryshpolets, Dvorkovich & Kouatly. Sadly, it wasn't recorded, so we don't know who won.


This week's Chickens of the Week were an old favourite, a debate-dodger and a chicken!
