Most of the time, I’m annoyed with the hosts because they seem to constantly and purposefully misunderstand each other’s points and talk in circles, which frustrates me as a listener. Feels like they’re arguing to win a point rather than trying to understand the other person’s position and perhaps come to a mutual understanding. And Jesse’s and David’s insistence that only OTB classical chess is real chess definitely has a “get off my lawn” vibe. But if you can get through that, there are some great nuggets.

I enjoyed your last show. I was thinking maybe a book can be made with all his articles. I always wanted to learn chess. It wasn’t queen gambit, but the book The immortal game that started my deeper interest, and your podcast pushed of course.

Maybe.

WELCOME TO THE DOJO? CHESS DOJO IS GOOD IF YOU LIKE CHESS AND LIKE CHESS OR EVEN IF YOU LIKE CHESS. HUMANS WHO LIKE CHESS SHOULD LISTEN TO IT IF THEY LIKE CHESS 5/5 STARS. :D

I joined the Dojo and quickly took to listening to the podcast version of their talks. The chemistry between Kostya, Jesse, and David is so good. Educational, enjoyable, and essential listening for chess fans both casual and serious. I look forward to every episode!

Yes! I’ve waited so long for this to be on iTunes. Thank you!
