My honest criticism.. the show has improved since it's humble beginnings. Now there are guests who actually know chess. The host is still annoying, but I think his inexperience aids the show. Having two expert chess players won't help because a noob won't be able to relate. Phils mistakes and questions are corrected by George and so beginners learn a bit.
Man, don't listen to any haters, Phil. Keep doing what you love! I think your personality is fun and a show about chess with some stuffy guy who's great at algebraic notation would be boring as hell. I think you try to make chess fun, which is the only way more people will ever appreciate this great game. For that, I think you are cool and if anyone disagrees they should probably loosen up a little! I'd like to see them do better.
it was an enjoyable show. The host was a little bit manic sometimes but you perhaps want the host to be more in that direction than not. Some more practice with algebraic notation would be useful!
I'm sorry, but it was a horrible show. The host is incredibly rude to GM Kudrin. He sounds like a game show host. And doesn't even know algebraic notation. He's always behind, and he gets the placement wrong. Please change the host, as he's completely incompetent, or teach him something before he starts wasting a GM's time.

The host is talking to the GM like someone at a bar. Surprised Kudrin didn't walk off the set...

@goblinman7 He seemed to have a smile on his face for most of the time. Maybe he's not as snobby as you think.
