Love this theme of chess players being in the podcast. I played in highschool and stopped once I became an “adult”. You’ve reignited my love for chess though and am now playing hours a day again. Thank you Lex 🙏🏻

I love how Alexandra threw in questions of her own. It turned an interview situation into an insight-seeking conversation.

Awesome guests Lex, these two sisters are incredibly fascinating and you once again found them! Great job, great show!!

I'm really glad to see the botez sisters on here. I feel like I learned a lot more about them in this podcast and they are the reason I started playing chess like a year ago. I'm a big fan 🥺

Consistently fascinating, and always varied. I’m so glad you had the Botez sisters on and addressed the controversy. Great podcast. Thank you again.

There's a Futurama quote that says "when you do things right, people won't be sure that you've done anything at all." And that's exactly how I feel about the Botez sisters. Their stardom feels like nothing. It feels completely natural for them to be as famous as they've become.

Your opening monologue hooked me. I look forward to listening to more of your discussions.

Both humbling and hopeful to meet these youngsters with really beautiful minds. Thanks man. You consistently make the world seem like a better place.

I love how Alexandra turns a lot of Lex's questions back on him, or questions some of his value statements. It really shows how much of a lifelong learner she is. She isn't there to talk about herself she's there to explore ideas with Lex and wants to know what's in his head box

It's because 1. Chess doesn't require high intelligence. It's just pattern recognition from other games. All u do is play the best lines that have always already been played. That doesn't require intelligence. Just memory. You didn't create some new genius move. 2. Chess is a dead end. It only makes u good at chess and nothing else. The skill of chess doesn't leak into other areas. And chess doesn't help make the world a better place.

The segment around 1:30 blew my head right off, because it closely relates to things I'm going through atm. That tangent really got my gears churning, can't thank you enough for that! Cheers!

Overall this episode is beautiful. Beautiful both visually and mentally. Alex is brilliant lady. So is Andrea. Lex is the role model. Lex, thank you for putting your effort out there and creating this valuable informational art that we not only love to be exposed to but I dare to say that we should. Thank you for putting love into the world.

This CD is very calming kzread.infoUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq the first meditation focuses on breathing, the second guides you through the Buddhist metta bhavana--loving kindness to all, and the third is a meditation to be used when walking. him is originally from Scotland, so there is a little accent to his voice, but it is very soothing and not at all distracting. If you are a beginner to meditation, this CD will walk you through all the steps of relaxing and breathing as well as sending out the positive thoughts of love and kindness that will be returned to you. We have several CD's, but this one is a favorite that we choose most often.

Lex, as a chess enthusiast. Thank you for supporting chess.

Chess parallels MMA/Jiu jitsu on many levels. Both individual competitions with many time control variations that may give an advantage to one participant over another. Winning is often by tapping or resigning when one is "defeated", or by stoppage/mate. The prepping for a particular opponent, the idea that a fighter might be more comfortable in certain lines/positions than another equally rated player. The fighters also often attach a sense of worth to an outcome even tho anyone can slip up and suddenly lose to a foe considered not as strong. I could realloy go on with the similarities, but I'm sure many others are thinking of them now.

Bravo to Lex, Alexandra and Andrea, My dad taught me chess as a young boy and never 'let' me win. I kept up with it because he showed me my mistakes and possible options along the way to being able to compete with him. Lex, It's interesting to hear your guests describe the moves in descriptive terms as known strategies. Naïve as I am, many of the move sequences just feel instinctual to me, probably because I learned so young and never knew the names of what I was doing. It's an odd feeling to know where things are probably going on your opponent's first move or two because you can perceive their ability. People competitively over extended miss the obvious traps to my advantage. "mistakes" realized are the difference. I've taught friends who went on to destroy well heeled braggarts at the game.

He's the funniest guy in chess imo. Many don't seem to get his humour though 🙂

This was both a inspirational, beautiful and interesting video. Some times i have a certain level as the goal, and if i get stuck to close to that goal for to long, i get both bored and nervous for each time i am about to play. My main take from this video is that i must learn to just play for fun and not think about the level, and that alone make me want to play again. Also, i do not think i have seen the Botez sisters like this before, and i love it, i am not able to point a finger at exactly what it is, but maybe it is kind of more relaxed then it usually is. (i must admit that their usual style is also entertaining, but in general i prefer this style more.) 🙂 One of the sentences i use when i am a bit down is: The sun always shine above the skies. And skies are never permanent. 🙂

Interesting note: When they made the Queens Gambit, the directors initially had planned to have Garry Kasparov play Borgov. However, the movie length for filming was too long for him from chess tournaments, so he offered to help make the chess more realistic over the board at least!

Two interviews for the price of one? Lex is really stepping his game up.

Damn loving this chess content Lex!
