(Hey, it's Sharon Lin, formerly a host at Radio Taiwan International. I moved on to a new chapter in 2024 but my old shows would still be available here.) On That's Debatable, we will be talking about debatable topics of all shapes and sizes, exchanging ideas, and having conversations about what some might deem too “controversial”or "too much" to talk about, for whatever reasons. We will talk about them! We're here to open up the conversation, bust some stereotypes, invite diverse input, and encourage one another to expand our understanding.

The Queen's Gambit - How good is it? ft. Grzegorz Sienkiewicz

The 2020 TV series The Queen’s Gambit is definitely one of the most popular shows of late. The show is adapted from the 1983 novel of the same name. Since the show came out, people often debate on how good the portrayal of chess is in the show. Do the steps make sense? What significance is there for Beth Harmon to learn the Sicilian Defense at a young age? For today, my guest Grzegorz Sienkiewicz, is here to break it down for us.

Head to @rtienglish on Instagram for video highlights as we did set up a chessboard in the studio during recording.

Stay tuned for part 2 coming up next week.

Grzegorz is originally from Poland, and has been playing chess since he was around 8. He also teaches chess in Taipei.
