The Doctor (and I) love nothing more than emails from our listeners. This episode starts off we a few of our more recent emails, including one from our first listener prescription request. We then go into a quick review of Bill's latest OTB tournament at Marywood.

Also, remember we are currently offering this "chess prescription" service to you and if you'd like our opinions, please send in a game with white, a game with black, and a brief (or long), summary of your current level and anything you wish to share about your game and goals.

L2C 061: Patience in Chess

Bill gets up onto his soapbox for this one and tried to explain why patience in chess is so important but often overlooked in most chess areas of chess learning. 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.

L2C 058: AI Assistance in Chess Improvement and Listener Questions

The Doctor has been hard at work on his game and has become a big fan of working with AI to review his paly. He is primarily using a new to us website called ChesSigma and we he has found to be helpful to improve his game. Hopefully, we can go over the website in more depth in the future. We also go through a few recent listener questions.

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 very enthusiastic about the event and what he learned from the camp. So without further ado, as The Doctor always says, "Lets Go".
