JudgeCast #300 – Down with OPC (Other People’s Content)

Posted on by

This is SPARTA! Wait, no. This is…our 300th Episode! While my favorite topic to talk about is myself, we put the breaks on that celebration to invite on a few other judges active providing content for the masses. We talk about what makes their projects special, what keeps them motivated, and how it helps others.

    JudgeCast #292 – Slow Play: I done told ya’ once already…

    Posted on by

    In this episode Bryan and Charles talk about one of the more subjective infractions in the IPG; Slow Play. We talk about its definition, it’s subjectivity, why it can’t have an objective definition and how to deal with players that might get upset you give them Slow Play. We even talk about Chess Clocks. No, really. Thats been a suggestion.


    And, to play into the theme, this episode gets a Warning for being a day late.
