Alistair looks at chessboards created as interactive art pieces, and relates them to his own experiences making interactive art and performance from chess.
Tune in for Takako Saito's smellable chess pieces, Horses Running Endlessly, an egg becoming God, and of course Yoko Ono's chess set where all the pieces are white.
