    You’re so far apart, it’s so formal! I’m going to have to save this for later when I can devote an entire half hour and learn the secrets of life.

    Best episode so far. Good guest. Would be better without the music. Also, lose the idea of having people call in. Its not working.

    Stop encouraging Checker Phil. Mediocrity shouldn’t be praised.

    Checkerphil, you have really nailed it, this was A class. You have really worked hard on this show, everything has came together very well. It was interesting, the mate in two with queen was something new for me! Mate in 3 with rook too. I could probably have mated from those positions but the advice for move selection was eye opening, Thanks for posting the vid keep up the good work.

    Have you noticed every time Phil asks the crew to bring something up to show on the screen, they never do?

    And like always, the music clashes with the people talking. Its not horrible, but its distracting.

    Other than that, good stuff.
