@fionchetta @GothamChess Very enjoyable conversation…and I do enjoy your commentary- “voice of the average player” is very much needed !

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

@Lona_Chess @DinaBelenkaya Absolutely!

@sleepinvan I think that’s a closely held tactical motif not known to many….

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

@Lona_Chess ..so I have started to use Daily Chess, but sometimes i wonder if this is not great either as you kind of can lose track if you take too long between moves. I might try the classical timing, even though its tough to schedule

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

@Lona_Chess This is brilliant @Lona_Chess . Just listened to 1st 2 episodes. I'm back at chess since the QG also, your point about the easier/harder puzzles was a lightbulb moment - I've become obsessed with increasing my https://t.co/Lwa1fFkjft puzzles rating and they are simply too hard

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

@Lona_Chess ..also the point about coaches was enlightening. Would love more insights on when to choose a coach on the journey and how....especially when it has to be online ( I live in rural ireland...not much F2T options!)

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

@DinaBelenkaya I love your interviews! Tough job with some of these guys, they are not so chatty…it’s a fantastic attempt to make things a bit more fun and human 😀

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

@hlinehan really interesting discussion with Niall Ferguson - among many highlights I thought the analysis of why modern plans/processes are so inefficient and essentially "ass-covering" (and cynical?) was fascinating and a great topic in its own right.

I've voted for Today in Focus - https://t.co/j4wwzBffsJ in the @britpodawards Listeners' Choice Award. Vote for your fave: https://t.co/zErBvOK30K. I’m Irish and this is is a great podcast even if you’re not British!

@chesscoachandra Hi @chesscoachandra - I heard you on Perpetual Chess podcast with @Bennyficial1 , and REALLY enjoyed the interview. Have just subscribed to your Youtube channel and looking foward to browsing it. Hope it grows for you!

@chess24com Thanks for your great commentary on #chesschamps...very helpful to non-experts

In common with every other Northern Irish person on the internet, I have spent this evening absolutely losing my shit to this glorious clip and do not intend to stop any time soon.

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

Listened to a very interesting and enjoyable discussion on Britain beyond Brexit #ITInsidePolitics Live with @hlinehan, @denisstaunton , @HelenHet20, and @gideonrachman. Great work again @IrishTimes on these live events.

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

@hlinehan @nytimes @maureendowd @IrishTimes @suzannelynch1 ...very interesting discussion this evening- most enjoyable

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

@eleanormcevoy @momaura @wallisbird Just saw it on player this evening. Wonderful.

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

@wallisbird Just watched it on catchup this evening. I loved that album and you had the closest voice to the wonderful Mary black without her being there.

[Dara O'Sullivan @lorcan111]

@davidmcw Brilliant tour de force of the Middle East. Your detailed knowledge of the region history and politics is refreshing compared to so many journalists who seem to have a very superficial understanding of the complexities.

@FayeCarruthers Try cork for your next birthday Faye- we don’t go in for that nonsense 😜

@guardian_sport @elisjames @bglendenning @NickAmes82 @ceylonandi @sidlowe Really enjoyed this one...great ‘banter’ between @bglendenning and @elisjames. So interesting also to hear about the Kosovo team from @NickAmes82 and about the work @ceylonandi is doing with young people.
