| 5/5/26 |  L2C 043: All About the Chess Dojo | L2C 043: All About the Chess Dojo We are always talking about the Chess Dojo and it is largely because it has helped both of us so much. We then decided to talk about how it has helped us. We had a bit of trouble coming up with a good way of describing it when we decided "hey, lets just give a tour and talk as we do". So we did. PS this may be a podcast where it is better to view on our YouTube channel to get to see everything we talk about, but hopefully, it works when audio only. Did we miss something or get anything wrong? Were we remiss in not asking a question or discuss and area you are interested in?

| 4/28/26 |  L2C 042: Best Books and Courses - Volume 1 | L2C 042: Best Books and Courses - Volume 1 We go through the best books and courses we have used to date so far. Unsurprisingly, our picks differed, lol. This is a constantly evolving list and offers our perspectives. We expect this list to be updated in the future because it does not only involve the quality of the information but also the timing the information was ingested as well as our current progression as chess players. Congratulations to our top picks. PS What are yours? Did we miss something or get anything wrong? Were we remiss in not asking a question or discuss and area you are interested in?

Of primary importance to you initial improvement as a chess player is taking care of you pieces (and pawns) and capitalizing on the opportunities that your opponent presents. We have heard that 80+% of the games under 1200 Elo are decided by this factor. Even if that is not 100% accurate, it is indicative of the importance of material during a chess game.

| 4/8/26 |  L2C 037: Claude Fried | L2C 037: Claude Fried Bill welcomes Claude to the podcast. He is over qualified for our DCP title and has a USCF rating of over 2,000 at this point. We talked quite a bit about his past and even more about what he learned that helped him the most. We also discussed a ton of options that are present currently that were not around when he was first learning. And since the good Doctor was not around, Bill got to ask a ridiculous question or two.

The open championship has had lots of surprises in terms of each of the games played, but it has developed into a big lead and a few players who are (almost) out of contention. It is looking like the later rounds are going to be quite exciting on the women's side and hopefully the open side. The good Doctor and Bill also update the midway results of our Fantasy Chess Tournament and in spite of the their prediction performance predict the next round of action that will be starting in a few hours after today's off day.

| 3/24/26 |  L2C 032: The Tao of Chess - 3 More Chapters | L2C 032: The Tao of Chess - 3 More Chapters We return to our Tao of Chess series and discus the next three chapters as they belong in one bag. The first chapter is on Development. The second chapter is on Controlling the Center. The third chapter we cover here is on King Safety. These three principles form the pillars of most good chess, especially early in your chess career. However, as with the other chapters of this book, there is great depth in each of the principles covered within the chapter and we remain positive that we do not fully comprehend the true meanings atthis point.

We talk about his chess history and his road to where he is currently We also meander around (to the surprise of no one) and discuss wide variety of chess training, growth of players, methods, etc. And far be it for us not to take advantage of his knowledge of our games and find out what he sees as our next areas of focus and growth. We also bestow up him two Chess Titles from our podcast. Did we get something wrong? Were we remiss in not asking a question or discuss and area you are interested in?

| 2/3/26 |  L2C 020: The Importance of Confidence In Chess | L2C 020: The Importance of Confidence In Chess After last weekend's tournament, the good Doctor said we should have a short episode on the importance of confidence in chess.

| 1/27/26 |  L2C 019: GM Jesse Kraai - Our First Ever Guest | L2C 019: GM Jesse Kraai - Our First Ever Guest We are humbled to have GM Jesse Kraai on the podcast. Many of you will probably know him as a Grand Master in Chess, or as an excellent instructor on chess improvement, or as one of the three sensei's that started the ChessDojo. We have been working in the Dojo for the past year and working directly with Jesse for the past 4 or 5 months. We asked all your chess questions that we received on our Instagram, facebook, and email. Plus we added a few of our own. We barely scratched the surface and hope this is the first of many podcasts with Jesse. Did you have any questions after the episode? Let us know at Late2Chess@gmail.com. Also, if you have any thoughts, topics and/or guest ideas, or solutions, please let us know. Welcome to the board. We hope you enjoy the show!
