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".

L2C 056:  Visualization and Mental Processing with Aiden Rayner
All chess players can agree that thinking is a large of our game and a key component in our success at the board.  What if there was a way to optimize not only what we think but how we think?  Do you think that your game would improve?  Would the game be even more fun?  While our guest for this episode cannot guarantee that your Elo will go up, it is fairly logical that if your thinking process can improve so will your game.  
Aiden Raynor is the host of one of our favorite podcasts called "Chess Visualization" and it is one of the few that Bill doesn't listen to at 3x, lol, Aiden has seemingly dedicated his life towards understanding how our brains have been wired to think and what we can do to optimize our thinking processes to most efficiently play chess.  
During this episode we try to cover a bunch of the main aspects related to this area and even address a few issues that Bill has encountered in the past almost two years of playing.  In the future we hope to have Aiden back on the podcast, probably a few times, to get more deeply into several of the areas. 
The goal for this episode was to provide a broad overview of the area and we hope we answered a few questions you may have had and maybe a few you had not realized yet.

L2C 055:  Welcome Back - To The Doctor and OTB Chess for Bill
Summer is rapidly coming to a close and The Doctor has returned to the podcast from his sabbatical, lol.  In addition, we cover an OTB tournament after a long layoff for Bill.  What has The Doctor been up to and how has his game been progressing?  How did the tournament go and did any of the recent work payoff?

L2C 054:  How to Annotate and Analyze Your Game (101) with Claude Fried
It is often said that in chess one of the best ways to improve is to study your games, often annotating them is the method suggested.  But what exactly does that mean exactly.  Claude Fried returns to help Bill walk through a recent game and help him to annotate and analyze the game.  While we made every effort to make this useful as an audio only podcast, this episode may be better when viewed on our YouTube channel as the discussion is fairly visual.   Going into this episode, Bill felt he was almost competent at annotating a game and what he was thinking during and after reviewing the game.  However, his analysis skills are still lacking.  Even with that expectation, Claude was able to identify several key areas where Bill can improve his process going forward.  Additionally, Claude also suggested several areas for homework and future game analysis and annotations for a potential part 2.

Please let us know if you would like a part 2, or more, in this potential series and especially please let us know if we did not cover a related area that may be puzzling you at this point in your chess career.
