Episode 6: John Saunders. Chess for Life in the time of the Corona virus.

Описание: A new series by GM Matthew Sadler and WIM Natasha Regan (authors of the ECF Book of the Year prize-winning "Chess for Life" (2016) and "Game Changer" (2019)) interviewing chess personalities about the effect that current events have had on their lives and chess career. Each interviewee is also asked to analyse a favourite game (or two) that they would want to take into quarantine with them!
In this episode we talk with John Saunders, a well-known chess photographer and publicist who has the unusual distinction of being the only person to have edited both the BCM and CHESS magazine! John talks to us about the early days setting up his Britbase website (https://www.saund.co.uk/britbase/) and his current activities in chess, and then demonstrates a miraculous escape from a bygone age against David Rumens!
