Bill Fischer

Interested in playing chess but always hear how it is difficult to learn especially if you are an adult? There is no better time to start playing chess than today, especially with all the resources available now!!! Let's learn this game together and prove that while we may never become a grandmaster, we can still have fun. We can have a great time learning the game and progress to whatever level we can get to and until someone invents a time machine, today is still the best day to start. My personal goal is to see how high I can get my rating, while being a parent and holding two jobs, and two podcasts etc. etc. just like many of you. My goal is currently 1,500 USCF and my stretch goal is 2,000 USCF. Lets see where we all can get to!

    L2C 029:  Our First Annual Chessy Awards for 2025 Performance It is awards season and we thought it would be great fun to start the annual tradition we nicknamed the Cheesy's.  Never one to leave a bad idea alone, we did it.  So with no further introduction, here are the Chessy Awards for 2025.  Let the arguments begin.  And don't forget to enter your team selection into our Fantasy Chess League for the upcoming Candidates tournament.  The rules are posted on our social media on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Please let us know if you are going to try this and please please let us know if you do and how it goes.  We would love to hear all about it.   PS  Bill wants to do a way off topic podcast episode based on music and can "weakly" tie it to chess background music ideas.  Let us know if there is any interest in this.   Did we get something wrong?  Were we remiss in not asking a question or discuss and area you are interested in? Let us know at Late2Chess@gmail.com 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!

    L2C 027: Our 2026 Candidates Fantasy Chess League - plus a bit more

    L2C 027:  Our 2026 Candidates Fantasy Chess League - plus a bit more Since we had a shorter episode this week, we wanted to give you a double dose of chess content this week and exceed our weekly goal of 1 hour of podcast goodness.  Bill introduces the good Doctor to one of his favorite books that has helped him in many areas of his career and life.  Then we apply this technique to chess, we are a ches spodcast after all.  What do we use to demonstrate the technique?  The good Doctor sets his goal of being a DCP and then comes up with his 3 highest leverage efforts to support this goal.   Please let us know if you are going ot try this and please please let us know if you do and how it goes.  We would love to hear all about it.   And don't forget to enter your team selection into our Fantasy Chess League for the upcoming Candidates tournament.  The rules are posted on our social media on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.   Did we get something wrong?  Were we remiss in not asking a question or discuss and area you are interested in?
