Does anyone here play chess

Post by Super Nova » Wed Jun 30, 2021 2:24 pm

I am not a good player and never learned any textbook openings and moves.

However when I was young I liked to play.

Does anyone here play?

I was think we could have a game over the forum. Enter our moves in a thread. No cheating using chess engine.
Always remember what you post, send or do on the internet is not private and you are responsible.

Hi SN,
I'm a fairly good player ( somewhere between 1700 and 2000 rating).
I do the puzzle here each day:
https://www.chessgames.com/index.html

It starts out easy on Monday - beginners level -
and gets more difficult every day till Sunday
is almost an impossible puzzle.

You can play chess online live here:
https://www.chess.com

and many other sites.

This is the the best channel on Youtube for chess games coverage:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL5YbN ... LIegT5QAbA

It has 1.13M subscribers.

It would take too long to play a game.
This isn't a chess site - those other places are all set up to do it.
