In today's episode, Micah is joined by Brin-Jonathan Butler, the author of the recently released The Grandmaster, which focuses on the 2016 World Chess Championships and the strange world of chess. Together they talk about what makes Magnus Carlsen so great, why Bobby Fischer still captures the imagination of so many, and why so many great chess players seem to lose their minds in the process.
