L2C 064: Our Chess Prescriptions For Each Other It is here, the episode where The Doctor gets to tell Bill what to do to improve his chess game. And, Bill gets to tell the Doctor what he has to do to improve his. The best part about it is that they both have to do what the other says. Since we both know each other's games very well, this should lead to improvement in how we paly or at least fill a few more holes in our games.

The Doctor is underwhelmed initially and you will have to listen to find out if he eventually comes across to Bill's side of the argument. Please be prepared as Bill had done way too many tacticas on this day of recording. Did we miss something or get anything wrong? Were we remiss in not asking a question or

L2C 057: Chess Camp with the Chess Dojo The Chess Dojo announced that they would be holding a camp helping players chess games. We were immediately interested but life schedules led to Bill being the only one of us to be able to attend. He had such a good time and learned so much, we had a need to share the experience the night the event ended. We apologize if Bill was more of a babbling idiot than normal bit it was a bit late in the evening and after the camp, he was pretty tired mentally, but

L2C 056: Visualization and Mental Processing with Aiden Rayner All chess players can agree that thinking is a large of our game and a key component in our success at the board. What if there was a way to optimize not only what we think but how we think? Do you think that your game would improve? Would the game be even more fun? While our guest for this episode cannot guarantee that your Elo will go up, it is fairly logical that if your thinking process can improve so will your game. Aiden

L2C 054: How to Annotate and Analyze Your Game (101) with Claude Fried It is often said that in chess one of the best ways to improve is to study your games, often annotating them is the method suggested. But what exactly does that mean exactly. Claude Fried returns to help Bill walk through a recent game and help him to annotate and analyze the game.
