Ep. 205: An Easy Nimzo-Indian Setup for Club Players | 10+5 Amateur Run

Episode 205

Thursday, October 1, 2026 • Duration 26:38

In this game, I use a practical Nimzo-Indian setup that avoids a lot of heavy main-line theory while still giving Black an active position. It's a great option for busy adult club players who want a sound opening without spending hours memorizing variations.

Ep. 204: How to Play Chess in Time Trouble | 5+3 Amateur Run

Episode 204

Sunday, September 27, 2026 • Duration 33:33

This video features two 5+3 games with very different challenges. After a quick London System game, the second turns into a lesson in managing serious time pressure, with less than 30 seconds on my clock while my opponent still has more than three minutes. We'll look at practical ways busy adult amateurs can simplify decisions, manage the clock, and continue playing good chess when time is running out.

The London System can become dangerous quickly if Black allows a comfortable kingside attack. In this video, we look at practical ways to defend accurately, create counterplay, and keep the position under control.

Ep. 202: Want a Simple Opening Repertoire? Try This Combo | 5+3 Amateur Run

Episode 202

Monday, September 21, 2026 • Duration 45:36

Introducing our 5+3 Amateur Run series: Fast enough to create pressure, slow enough to still play real chess (mostly😂). In this video, I play one game with the French Defense and another with the London System - two openings that work extremely well together as a simple, practical repertoire. For busy adult amateurs, the goal isn't to memorize endless opening theory, but to reach playable positions you understand and spend more of your limited study time on the parts of chess that matter most.

Ep. 201: This Is Why You Don't Give Up After a Blunder | 10+5 Amateur Run

Episode 201

Sunday, September 20, 2026 • Duration 43:13

Welcome to the 10+5 Amateur Run. In this first game, I make an embarrassing early mistake, fall behind, and have to figure out how to stay in the game and fight back. This series is about practical chess improvement for busy adult amateurs, using real games to explore better decisions, stronger habits, and more efficient ways to improve.

Ep. 200: The Chess Angle Is Going Video

Episode 200

Sunday, September 20, 2026 • Duration 12:41

After 200 episodes, The Chess Angle is making its next move. I explain why the show is shifting to a video-first format where I play games against fellow amateurs, talk through my thinking, and analyze the games afterward - with the wins, losses, mistakes, and everything in between becoming part of the learning process. Same philosophy, same focus on practical chess improvement, but a completely new way of doing it.

Ep. 199 (S11 Finale): You're Doing Chess Puzzles All Wrong

Episode 199

Sunday, August 23, 2026 • Duration 36:17

This episode is our Season 11 Finale. We'll be taking a break and will be back soon.

Chess puzzles can be one of the most effective ways to improve, but only if you're actually training, rather than guessing, rushing through a daily quota, or chasing a streak. This week, we look at how to get more value from puzzle training by calculating before moving, repeating difficult positions, and working on everything from tactics and endgames to positional ideas and quiet moves.

Ep. 198: Move Noise: The Mental Clutter Costing You Games

Episode 198

Sunday, August 16, 2026 • Duration 46:47

Sometimes the problem isn't that we aren't thinking enough at the chessboard — it's that we're thinking about too much. In this episode, we explore "move noise": the unnecessary calculation, imaginary threats, second-guessing, and search for the perfect move that can interfere with good practical chess. Learn how to separate signal from noise, trust your chess, and save your thinking time for the positions that actually require it.

Ep. 197: Chess Openings and the Law of Diminishing Returns

Episode 197

Sunday, August 9, 2026 • Duration 43:28

Many adult club players don't study too little opening theory - they study too much. In this episode, we explore the trap of diminishing returns in opening study, why understanding ideas matters far more than memorizing endless lines, and the importance of building a practical repertoire that consistently leads to playable middlegames.

Ep. 196: Rook Slides, Queen Slides, & Other Chess Blind Spots

Episode 196

Sunday, August 2, 2026 • Duration 26:02

Many chess blunders aren't caused by poor calculation - they're caused by visual blind spots. In this episode, we explore why certain types of moves consistently escape our attention, how those blind spots lead to missed tactics and costly mistakes, and what you can do to start seeing more of the board.
