His specialist subject was "The World Chess Championships". With Discovery Channel having commercials, this shortened the amount of time available for the answering of questions and lasted just one series. As the camera panned out it became evident that the chair itself was on a platter, slowly turning in a giant microwave oven. Originally, the contestants played in the same order as in the first round; currently, they play in ascending order by first-round score.
