For the May edition of One Move at a Time, US Chess Senior Director of Strategic Communication Dan Lucas sits down with GM John Fedorowicz.  From his 2009 US Chess Hall of Fame induction plaque: "Inspired to begin playing chess by the Fischer-Spassky World Championship match in 1972, "The Fed" won the National High School Championship in 1975, tied for the U.S. Junior Championship in 1977, and won the competition outright in 1978. Both before and after attaining the GM title in 1986, Fedorowicz was considered a force in American chess, taking the U.S. Open in 1980, the New York Open in 1989, the National Open in 1992, and qualifying for the U.S. Championship numerous times. He is also the winner of five World Open titles and has many international victories to his credit, including Cannes and Sesimbra in 1987 and Wijk aan Zee in 1990. "Fedorowicz twice represented the U.S. in the World Chess Olympiad and captained both men's and women's Olympiad teams. He also has authored numerous chess articles and two books, The Complete Benko Gambit in 1990 and The English Attack, with Nick de Firmian, in 2004. A lifelong New Yorker, Fedorowicz spends much of his time teaching and participating in the city's chess community, and has frequently served as a second and advisor to U.S. Champion Gata Kamsky."

After a few weeks apart, David Law, Catherine Whitaker and Matt Roberts are back together on this week’s podcast, and the only place to start is Naomi Osaka’s split with Sascha Bajin. What could be the reasons behind it ? Should we have seen it coming? And how important is it that she’s prioritising her mental health over her on court success? On a similar theme, is Simona Halep on a mission to prove she can win big without a coach? Her trial period with Thierry Van Cleemput was unsuccessful, but she still reached the final in Doha. What makes her conqueror Elise Mertens such a brilliant player? Elsewhere, the biggest men’s results from the past fortnight are discussed. How good could New York Open champion Reilly Opelka become? What makes Stan Wawrinka’s return to form so uplifting? Will Gael Monfils kick on from his win in Rotterdam? And why should we be paying close attention to the form of Daniil Medvedev?

Welcome back tooo…. A month of February ATP Review Edition of Hey, Great Shot!! In part one of a two-part megapod, co-hosts Alex Gruskin and Max Rothman attempt to breakdown all of February’s action on the ATP Tour. The guys start with three-minute breakdowns of all of the non-North American tournaments, focusing on the best and worst performances in each event. They then take a deep dive into the inaugural New York Open, covering everything from the tournament’s choice to paint grey courts to the quality of play that occurred on those courts. Throughout the episode the guys focus on the play of the many #NextGenATP players on tour. They debate things such as the upside of Karen Khachanov, the progression of Frances Tiafoe, the emergence of Sebastian Korda, and so much more. Given the success of the young Americans in 2018, Gruskin also does his best to stump Rothman with a game of Jonathan Kelley-inspired tennis trivia.
