Thanks for checking out the Tactics Time Podcast Page!
All of my podcasts are free, and meant to be fun and entertaining. I love a good chess story!
The podcasts cover a wide range of topics, and are mostly interviews and conversations with friends of mine that I have known for years on the Colorado Chess Scene.
Here are some topics that have been covered to give you an idea of what they are like:
- Reviews of Chess Movies like “Queen to Play” and “Bobby Fischer Against the World”
- A funny story where a kid stole my sunglasses at a chess tournament, and my friend Pete and I hunted him down like a dog halfway across the state of Florida to get them back
- Teaching chess to children and some of the funny things you see when doing this
- Stories about how people got into chess and what they like about chess
- Ideas from people about how they improved, and lessons they learned on their journeys
- Favorite Chess books
- Tournament reports
- And much more!
I’ve had people from all over the world tell me they enjoyed listening to them. Even people who don’t play chess themselves have told me they liked them!

Hey Tim,
I really enjoy your blog.
I discovered it today, looking for a way to install new engines in ChessBase Reader… I typed “chessbase reader engines” in google and your blog came up.
I’ve download the “July2007.pdf” which has some very nice tactical puzzles.
I am an English teacher in Brazil, unfortunately unemployed at the moment, and a 1600 player.
I would love to use your Chess Tactics software to improve my game.
However, I do not have a credid card.
Would there be another way of getting a copy?
Perhaps you’d like me to translate the program into Portuguese, so you could launch it in Brazil?
Thank you for your attention and keep up the good work.
All the best,
Cortiano
Hi there, is there perhaps any way to subscribe to this podcast feed without using iTunes?
I’ve got a Windows Phone 7 phone and would like to subscribe to the feed in Zune. Unfortunately the subscribe button at the top just links to the subscribe image.
Thank you for your time and keep up the good work.
Cheers
