Meritable Links

You may have noticed I added a couple of links recently. I don't like to add links frivolously, so take note both of these are very deserving. I add links only after consideration and regular viewing. Surely this leaves out a lot of good chess links but since deliberate action and consistency are recent themes in my life it seems appropriate to apply them here. Without further ado I present to you:

http://dk-transformation.blogspot.com/ AKA Transformation
To call him a guru would be insulting. Where as I have been known to cast a spell over a rook from time to time, With thought alone he opens trans-dimensional warp riffs over the board. It is rumored that once in a dark coffee house game, he opened a mental wormhole and slayed the black king without ever giving him check.
Transformation brings a new perspective to the chess board and to chess blogs. His ideas can be difficult to digest when he writes in a strange business-philosophical-meditation amalgamation. However, with a little time it becomes clear that his posts are quite genuine and insightful.

http://geo47.libsyn.com/ AKA Military History Podcast
As someone who works in a gym and an occupational clinic Ive come to be a huge fan of crosstraining for prevention, improvement and enjoyment. This military history podcast is truly interesting and I highly recommend giving it a chance. Military history is fascinating in its own right, but I think its also a good tool to introduce new ideas into your chess game. Be warned that the podcaster can be a bit dry. His content more than makes up for it which you will soon hear.
