Great!
This is great chess content, not focused so much on moves as on other aspects of the game, all from the perspective of an experienced tournament director. Invaluable content.
Solid, actionable content. A plethora of info and level-up able insights for every day chess players. Glad I stumbled across this one.
The best I’ve heard and I listened to a lot of chess podcast episodes. Can’t go wrong with jazz, chess, and New York. Chess Journeys is my favorite. Perpetual chess and chess dojo are my the most hyped but my least favorites. The chess experience is somewhere in between. You are right there with chess journeys. New in chess is behind you two.
Big fan of this podcast, really useful content even for less experienced chess players like myself and I enjoy Neal’s style as a host.
