Loved this breakdown series! Now currently working my way through 2017 season 1! 😄
Enjoyed the chess talk and the observations that I’d overlooked. Little nuggets and fun facts alongside great history lessons. Thank you 🤙🏼
Would love season 3 to break down chess movies 😉

Best podcast on the show!!!!
Apple Podcasts5jeffrey lee scottUnited States5 years ago - Great analysis
Thanks for making this podcast but I can’t believe you haven’t mentioned the novel by Walter Tevis on which the show is based.
Apple Podcasts3DedwarmoUnited States5 years ago - Chess boom three!
Since watching The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix I’ve been craving more and more chess discussion. Thanks for satisfying my thirst!
Apple Podcasts5DedwarmoUnited States5 years ago - Reunion show?
Time for a reunion show! Give the fans what they want!
Apple Podcasts595&:!!54;United States5 years ago - I miss it
I love(d) this show! I guess since Danny got that job at TBS he just doesn’t have time for this anymore. Enjoy the old episodes.
Apple Podcasts5NicknameisthehardestpartUnited States6 years ago - This is awesome!!
I haven’t even listen to a sound bite yet but I already suspect that I will love this. I’m a dad. I love chess and tech. So I’m sure there will be something here for me.
I hope to update this review after listening to a few episodes
Apple Podcasts5HouBmanUnited States7 years ago - Binge it!
Got to this podcast via Danny and have binged all the episodes in the last three weeks. The only think that is lacking is more accents from Danny! Loves me some Tim!

Germany7 years ago - Best blend...
... of tech talk, life lessons, coffee and (of course), chess!
Apple Podcasts5XonehorseUnited States7 years ago - A passing thought
Hey guys, I'm loving the podcast, it's very entertaining and enjoyable!
Have you two considered reaching out to Blue Bottle to start an affiliate program? I recently got a subscription to them (solely because of you two raving about the delicious coffee) I think an affiliate program with them would be mutually beneficial... (Maybe one for chess.com too? I am a diamond member there as well!)
Anyways, even if you didn't want to the money from the affiliate program, you could use it to do some so... more

Canada7 years ago - Love these guys
Danny and James are both funny and they talk tech, movies, chess, and coffee, making this pretty much nerd catnip. What’s not to love?
Apple Podcasts5PlerbinumUnited States8 years ago - A must listen each week.
Great chat about coffee, chess and tech between two great buddies. What's not to love? I always love listening to "Coffeehouse Blunders". The guys are such great mates, and have such an easy rapport. I don't know if they're just buddies, or whether they're related through marriage or something but they come across like lifelong friends which makes for a very enjoyable listen.
Apple Podcasts5JackVinicUnited Kingdom8 years ago - I don't even play chess!
If you like clever observational humor this show is for you. This is not review show these guys are just passionate about these things and they will come up in conversation. But there is no tedious review process. Just fun observations. I like this show and these two nerds. I don't even play chess - yet!
Apple Podcasts5AFMZillaUnited States8 years ago - Great podcast!
This podcast is a blend of some of the best things in life: coffee, chess and technology. Join Daniel "Danny" Rensch, Vice President of one the largest chess websites and international chess master, and James "Motz" Montemagno, Microsoft employed tech-wizard, as they discuss what's new in chess and technology and share interesting anecdotes of their lives. Always positive and always funny!
