Episode 53 - FIDE-fi-fo-fum
We go for gold with a preview of the Chess Olympiad in Batumi and the FIDE Presidential elections. Plus unplanned banter about Bitcoin and Twitch streams. Are players too lazy for politics? And 'Oh Capablanca' is music to our tears.

Our Mission: Bring the serious chess news analysis. VERY serious, and not at all witty. DEFINITELY not tongue in cheek. Origins: The Full English Breakfast started life as a late night brainstorm at the 2009 GibTel (now Tradewise) Chess Festival in Gibraltar. Trent and Macauley struck up a conversation about things missing in the chess media, and hit upon the idea of doing a podcast combining the serious with the slightly sophomoric. Trent quickly brought in his pal Stevie G. dramatically raising both the intellectual and the dialectical heft of the new ensemble. The show was retired in 2013, and relaunched in 2017 with aplomb.
