After decades at the helm of our publication business, our editor-at-large Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam will now move into the podcasting space as our lead host. A prominent behind-the- scenes figure in the chess world, Dirk Jan’s longtime connections to the world’s chess elite will guarantee a steady stream of high-profile guests. His experience as an interviewer and personal familiarity with the world’s best players will help Dirk Jan keep the conversation interesting and engaging for the listener.

Our publishing director Remmelt Otten will conduct interviews with our authors. A strong expert player in his own right, his playing strength and familiarity with the material will enable Remmelt to ask the right questions and give the listener a deep insight into our published materials, as well as the authors behind them.

Our lead behind-the-scenes producer, Alex Polak will also conduct a share of the interviews. His guests will include chess personalities that do not fall readily into the categories of “player” and “author”, like coaches, promoters, and influencers.
