  • All the feels I don’t realize I needed

    Just when I told myself I was following enough chess podcasts. This hit at just the right time in my life. Over the past year two things have happened in my life. I began playing chess regularly for the first time in decades. And I began seeing a therapist for the first time. So a podcast that speaks to both of those aspects of my life is fantastic.

Better yet, why aren't you a Twitch superstar?
