L2C 073:  Our Friend from the Chess Dojo Andy
Andy joins us to discuss his current path towards chess improvement.  We both met Andy when we were working through the Dojo curriculum and then really became friends during the live group classes where we reviewed our games as a group and then with GM Jesse Kraai.  He is a great person and a ton of fun to catch up with him and discuss his history and how things are going, what has worked for him etc.

L2C 068:  Getting Better vs Winning vs Elo Pursuit - and some of the hazards of each
Bill surprises The Doctor with one of his weird soapbox issues.  It starts with a discussion of chess improvement versus Elo increases versus an obsession with winning. 
As always, we bounce around and discuss several different aspects of these areas and many other subjects related to chess improvement. One of the things that Bill sees significant is not avoiding playing by becoming too obsessed over any of these factors. The Doctor always sees things differently and this time, to the surprise of no one, is no different.

L2C 074:  Emergency Episode - Bill's Latest Tournament (Debacle)
Bill played in a tournament this weekend, as some of you may know from our Instagram posts.  It did not go well.  He did not play well.  It was a tough one and we discuss it on the pod and what the plan of attack will be for the coming weeks.  Chess can be a tough game and Bill tends to be a bit tougher on himself than may be appropriate.  But if it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing, lol.  Another out of sequence episode / bonus episode for the week.
