L2C 050:  Non-Chess Factors to Improve Your Game
We started off with a simple listener question:   What do you think are things that are not directly related to chess playing and studying that could help your chess game, especially for a tournament.  Bill thought it was a 5 minute pre-episode discussion.  The Doctor had other ideas.  As usual, the Doctor was correct.     
Did we miss something or get anything wrong? Were we remiss in not asking a question or discuss and area you are interested in?

L2C 049:  Speed Runs / Slow Runs
One of Bill's favorite soft learning activities is to watch slow runs/speed runs and we go into several that he has found to be most helpful and how he tries to get the most value from them.  The Doctor then goes through a similar process that he uses to actually simulate a speedrun for himself.  Then we talk about a few ways that we may add these to our podcast's YouTube channel.  Let us know if you'd be interested.

L2C 048:  Hanging Pawns
An awesome conversation with Stjepan Tomic about a ton of topics including his chess progress and what he has found to be the best ways to improve as a player.  He is was further down the road to above and beyond being a DCP, but shares our pain in the journey.  Hopefully this episode will be part 1 of many with Stjepan.

L2C 047:  The Tao of Chess - Pawn Structures
This week, we discuss various aspects of the pawn structure and how we perceive this area to apply to our games at our current level of play.  This is an area that will likely need to be revisited as we progress.

Is Freestyle chess good for beginner and intermediate players?  Does it help you improve your chess game?  Do we know how to play this?  do we know how to play game this well?   The answers vary and that is the topic for this week's podcast.  Plus another contest.
