Chess has returned to the UK https://youtu.be/N1LJv24EiM4screens this week in the form of Chess Masters: The Endgame. It's on BBC 2 in the 'intelligent' slot where University Challenge and Only Connect is shown.
The show?
A group of 12 amateur players meet in a tournament where one is eliminated each round. Featuring rapid games and puzzles. It sounds good. Unfortunately it is not. It's horrendous. It's a dumbed down show where chess is hardly shown and silly gimmicks reign.
