Excellent for the beginner or the old duffer in us all
I love to watch this podcast. I have played chess for 40 years, in tournaments, against computers, and everytime i watch this podcast, I want to play some more.
Quality instruction that can be used immediately
I recently began playing chess after a very long break (20yrs). I quickly realized that I needed help. PE's Chess Cast was the perfect antidote for my ailment. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce such a high quality product. I'm an addict now!
Thanks
