S3 E15 Chess in Pop Culture

Chess is everywhere around us. Its been a game that has resonated with billions of people for almost 1500 years. A game about strategy, hierarchies, players that don’t know it rising to the top of the game, humans that break barriers while playing it - everyone who plays this game has their own stories to tell - be that the games that got away, the games that will go down in their memories forever, or just a funny moment between friends - and that is why we continue to play. There are always more stories to discover, learn, and share with one another.--Phiona Mutesi versus Mustafa Manour Zienab. 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 g6 3. g3 Nc6 4. Bg2 Nf6 5. d3 d6 6. Nge2 Bg7 7. h3 Rb8 8.
