Heads up to chess history enjoyers! A wonderful 48-minute BBC documentary about the 1988 Chess Olympiad in Thessaloniki, Greece, is now available to watch for free on YouTube. It's extremely well-produced, and it features some amazing insider footage from the event, as well as interviews with many well-known players (Kasparov, Karpov, the Polgar sisters, etc.). There's a special focus on the powerful English team.
