They're all annoying in their own way, but somehow they balance each other out and it's decent.
But Sierawan is probably the most annoying to me, even though he's the strongest player of the three.
Yasser on Nimzowitsch

Like Jen will ask what about Rg7?
Then Yasser goes into old man mode, completely fucks up the board, and enters Rg8 instead of Rg7 and for the wrong move number too, then he gets confused and has to refresh the board, meanwhile all 3 of them talk at once, and then finally, after 30 seconds of agonizing bullshit, he finally puts Rg7 on the board. Holy shit Yaz. I've already figured it out by then, and 20 seconds ago I muted the video and switch to the chessbomb.com tab.

And even though Jen is definitely the weakest player, and her role from a production standpoint is the color commentary, I understand all of this, but still, sometimes I feel like Yaz and Maurice disrespect her.
Like she'll suggest a move and they'll both immediately say no no no no no without even considering it... and sometimes it's a good move. Yeah they're 200-300 points stronger than her, but it's still only 200-300 points. She's definitely dumb compared to them, but she's not a total idiot compared to them.

Anyway, the production is very good, and the commentators are very good.
But if I could change one thing, I'd make Yaz about 30 years younger.
lol

Don't get me wrong, he seems like a nice guy, but many times it gets way too aggravating and I have to mute the video and switch tabs.
The other day Yasser Sierawan didn't want to acknowledge Nimzowitsch's 1926 masterpiece of zugzwang versus Johner. Maurice Ashley replied, "Now you're just hating on Nimzowitsch." Word! Progress!
