    Chess has been having a resurgence in popularity this year so I have finally acquiesced to semi-popular demand and started to play a bit. First, let's hone our skills and get a little more warmed up and then let's conquer chess dot com one board gamer at a time.

      @@spynae Isaac is like a podcast with an overlay, talking about the game itself is incidental. With this series he's always talking about the game itself, always speaking out loud about strategy and what he thinks about what's going on. It's a very different experience, at least for me.

    I also second the gentle pushing that people wnat more analysis. Not only does it give a better chance of you improving over time (which makes the series as a whole have more direction and feel more satisfying) but it's also the most unique content Chess can give proportional to your other stuff. An opportunity to be objectively retrospective about your own decisions is super interesting, and often entertaining.
