This week we have exciting news - at least 2 of our chickens will be going to the chess Olympiad in India!

They move on to discussing the Grand Chess Tour, Alireza Firouzja's return and Wesley So's impressive form. Hans Niemann's performance at the Sigeman tournament is also discussed.

The Olympiad will be a frequent topic but what goals do we have?

FIDE has introduced tiebreaks to the FIDE Candidates tournament (go FIDE!).

We have an exciting twist this week as Peter explains what's going RIGHT with FIDE.

Tales from the training camp features Sam Shankland & a prank on Jon-Ludwig Hammer - what more could you possibly ask for?

We end with our Chickens of the Week, one of which may not shock you.
