Review of Chess Gals

Starting off as an informational piece on chess makes it quite engaging. The focus then shifts to the discussion of women, specifically girls, playing chess. Having grown up playing chess in school then not playing anymore after High School, I found the piece personally engaging and well rounded in explaining the appeal of the game and problems with engaing women into the game. It especially focuses on the learning divide of the game versus the actual learning curve and would server as a good news piece. I am not sure how it may be used but areas with school teams or hosting a national tournament in the near future would find it worth broadcasting.
