L2C 068: Getting Better vs Winning vs Elo Pursuit - and some of the hazards of each Bill surprises The Doctor with one of his weird soapbox issues. It starts with a discussion of chess improvement versus Elo increases versus an obsession with winning. As always, we bounce around and discuss several different aspects of these areas and many other subjects related to chess improvement. One of the things that Bill sees significant is not avoiding playing by becoming too obsessed over any of these factors. The Doctor always sees things differently and this time, to the surprise of no one, is no different.

L2C 074: Emergency Episode - Bill's Latest Tournament (Debacle) Bill played in a tournament this weekend, as some of you may know from our Instagram posts. It did not go well. He did not play well. It was a tough one and we discuss it on the pod and what the plan of attack will be for the coming weeks. Chess can be a tough game and Bill tends to be a bit tougher on himself than may be appropriate. But if it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing, lol. Another out of sequence episode / bonus episode for the week.

L2C 070: NM Robert Ramirez - Chess Coaching Deep Dive - Part 1 of... We were very happy to have Robert Ramirez on the podcast and we had so many topics to discuss with him and then he started a whole new website and a structure to his chess paying and instruction. So we ended up with about 5 episodes worth of questions, maybe more. We cover his new to us method of logically explaining a methodology that can be applied to any game and maybe even alleviate some of The Doctor's middlegame planning issues/concerns. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did and get as much from the discussion. One of our best episodes.
