After a false start to Episode 59 we mark International Women's Day by celebrating Koneru Humpy and Vera Menchik while bemoaning the lack of equivalent opportunities for contemporary British female players. Otherwise, Jon is svelte, Phil is triumphant, and Chris is silent.

A few to catch up on here:

Episode 62 sees us discuss which chess grandmaster has eight legs, which member of the world elite looks like Bob Ross, and celebrate longevity in all its forms.

In Episode 63 we're joined by Grandmaster Jonathan Levitt and have a lovely chat about all things comedy, chess, cricket, and Clarendon Court.

And the Candidates resumes on Monday, so in Episode 64 we round up what's happened so far, and offer a preview and prediction of what's to come.
