This podcast has everything. Challenging chess positions, to the point commentary and explanations, and narrated by this model-sque lovely woman with a foreign exotic accent (who I just realised is a real chess champion not only a model...) Only quirk is there's a lot of funny ads and photos of...Read full review »

CKT 062 is a very good study of Saavedra but I am having problems syncing it to my iPod.

Alexandra is the current Chess World Champion - so she knows what she is talking about. I don't think you will find many sports where you can get tips for free from the current world champion! Not only is she a great player, she makes the studies sound interesting, while still going into detail....Read full review »

My kids love placing their pieces on the board and attempting to predict Alexandra's next move.

Alexandra's warm and down-to-earth nature makes learning real, practical chess a enjoyable and exciting. Her tips and commentary is second to none and even includes some entertaining tid bits--how about photos from her Vogue magazine picture shoot?

Well presented studies that make me think a little less like an amateur.
tahardy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/08
This podcast is the best..... Short and concise positions expained so a beginning player can easily see and understand the strategy behind the position. A definate plus for any player's game from beginner to experienced tournament player !!!

This is a very good podcast and I have enjoyed it ever since I joined iTunes. I have to admit this podcast is for amateur players that are students of the game trying to deepen their skills and improve their perfomance.Read full review »

Very well-structured, not too long and informative, CKT always feeds me with nice chess positions I can think about while traveling - a must!

Fantasic! Alexandria is truly passionate about chess, and brings you into the minds of GM’s and IM’s solving difficult puzzles. The positions shown and analyzed would be enthralling to both beginners and enthusiasts, and illustrate why chess is arguably the perfect game.
theRyner via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/01/07
How can anyone that remotely likes chess not appreciate this podcast? Basically, you get free lessons from a chess grandmaster - who happens to have a pleasing accent to listen to as well :) Keep in mind that this is not for the new beginner...you have to know at least a very basic foundation of...Read full review »

This is a wonderful podcast for those that love chess. It is short, sweet and challenging. After a few minutes of mental gymnastics, GM Kosteniuk mercifully provides the solution to the problem and great insight that will help your chess.
melrobin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/07
She's a grandmaster at chess, but not a podcasting. I have troubling understanding what she's saying a lot. And I'm not nearly good enough to "solve her puzzles". She doesn't really teach you anything, just gives you scenarios and shows you how to win in that (unlikely) scenario. If you're really...Read full review »
