“Chess is coming back to UK TV screens after 30 years!!“, announced Malcolm Pein, the International Director and Delegate of the English Chess Federation.
Pein explained through his Twitter account that the big news needed to be kept under wrap, and thanked the Curve Media TV team for their contribution. In the meantime, Broadcastnow reported that BBC is poised to take the chess format from Curve Media.
