Too bad, because I usually enjoy Jan Gustafsson’s insights in other formats. But here, the three hosts have zero chemistry and don’t even seem to like each other (strange, since they worked extensively together, and at close quarters, for Magnus). They are constantly either interrupting each other or leaving empty air. They don’t stay on topic and seem not to have read their own episode outlines — especially Peter Heine Nielsen, who often seems not to be listening at all. Nielsen in particular is tiresome and repetitive, especially his tirades against FIDE — where I usually agree with him, by the way! Bad production values, too — background noise, lousy mics, no volume equalization. Just a hot mess all around.
