Two National Chess Masters give their opinions on whether chess bots can help chess players improve. Al and Joe also give their opinions - but what do they know, they're just Average Joes.

But first…

Al & Joe talk about their chess week; the Average Joes Chess Club; how they got on with their chess challenges (book Sofi to sing for you). They set new chess chalenges; answer a listener's question; recap some world chess news and have a laugh talking a load of bollocks.

Finally we find out what Al and Joe have been exceptionally loving this week.
