What do chess and anal beads have in common? Jess and Ryan explain via their podcast, "Rooked: The Cheater's Gambit." We're featuring their trailer today!
Each episode of TPP features a trailer and then some analysis of that trailer. In this installment, hear from host Tim Villegas about his thoughts on this trailer. Then, Arielle Nissenblatt pops in with her analysis.
Here's what our select trailer's show is about about:
Welcome to Rooked: The Cheaters' Gambit. Join hosts Jess and Ryan as they unravel the ongoing chess cheating scandal (among other chess controversies). Elon Musk tweets - and then deletes - a joke (?) about cheating in chess via anal beads. Suddenly, the game of chess is thrown into the spotlight again, two years after the well-received debut of The Queen's Gambit Netflix series (we have no affiliation, but, like, the SEO is cool for us...and it was a pretty good show, in our opinions). But what the anal bead headlines are missing is the complicated web of accusations, slander, lies, cheating, and overall drama that is casting a shadow on the once noble game of chess. We're looking for answers - and the truth - as this true crime continues to unfold in the manner of a truly modern whodunnit, where the clues are hidden in the holes of a chessboard, the deepest of Internet rabbit holes...and maybe some other holes, too.
