Insightful, irreverent and fun.
Chessfeels is brilliantly entertaining whether you want to learn more about why we’re all obsessed with this simple board game, or you want to gain valuable insight into how your brain works while playing it.

I’m not serious about psychoanalysis vs psychology but you’ll have to listen to the podcast to get the joke…
