Late 2 Chess

Paul "The Doctor" Rebelo and 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 057: Chess Camp with the Chess Dojo

    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".   Did we miss something or get anything wrong? Were we remiss in not asking a question or discuss an area you are interested in?   Let us know at Late2Chess@gmail.com Also, if you have any thoughts, topics and/or guest ideas, or potential suggestions and/or solutions, please let us know. Welcome to the board. We hope you enjoy the show! For a link to the podcast, please use:  https://tinyurl.com/DojoChessCamp  Want some Late 2 Chess swag?

    L2C 056: Visualization and Mental Processing with Aiden Rayner

    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.   For more information or to contact Aiden:  https://dontmoveuntilyousee.it/ or subscribe to his podcast wherever you listen to this one.
