Bottom chess
Once in a while people send us links to chess videos on the internet. This week someone drawed our attention to an episode of the comedy series Bottom, written by Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. (Older visitors might know these two as Rik and Vyvyan from The Young Ones.) In this episode Eddie (Edmondson) tries to teach Richie (Rik) chess. A good one for a Friday afternoon.

Peter Doggers joined a chess club a month before turning 15 and still plays for it. He used to be an active tournament player and holds two IM norms.
Peter has a Master of Arts degree in Dutch Language & Literature. He briefly worked at New in Chess, then as a Dutch teacher and then in a project for improving safety and security in Amsterdam schools.
Between 2007 and 2013 Peter was running ChessVibes, a major source for chess news and videos acquired by Chess.com in October 2013.
As our Director News & Events, Peter writes many of our news reports. In the summer of 2022, The Guardian’s Leonard Barden described him as “widely regarded as the world’s best chess journalist.”
In October, Peter's first book The Chess Revolution will be published!
