I just got on chess.com to play with friends overseas. Realized how bad my game is. Good site though.

I haven't played in years but beat plenty of USCF Master ranked opponents in non-sanctioned matches (so I wouldn't hurt their rating). Probably suck now though, still remember some of my openings (Sicilian etc) and always had a very strong mid game but my end game lacked a lot

I, too, am a fan of Sicilian openings, my end game sucks. Come to think of it, so does my middle!

The Sicilian is a defense. It with the dragon variation is a formidable defense. Anyway , I was looking for a player to run some lines with. I guess the pub is a checker kinda place.

I dont use fancy words. But if you set the game up in front of me I'm sure I'd give you a run for your money

Also, if you really want to play there are plenty of online communities, maybe you could even get matched against Magnus Carlsen in an online tournament. Seems more like you want to call people checkers players though for not using proper lingo despite not playing for near 20 years. That attitude turns new players away from chess, its a form of weak middle players gate keeping cause if too many actually played they would just be weak players

I grew up playing chess with my mother. Never researched deep into it but I'm a strategist at heart so it is one of my favorite games.

I've read a lot of Pandolfini books, studied some of the greats as well memorized quite a few openings/defenses as well as game theory (for cards) and the game theory about chess, controlling the center of the board, like late game having a bishop supported by a pawn (some call it a bulwark) is such a strong position.
Also for new players, castle in at most 10 moves. Best you move you can make.
