Anyone Else Play CHESS?!
    #27072837 - 12/05/20 01:23 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Seriously! Getting back into it; anyone else play? If so, how long have you been playing, what's your skill level, preference for play, etc.?



Discuss! :bongload::sunny:

I beat the computer every now an then, but I don't actually know what I'm doing.
My strat is to trade until I get a pawn to the other end and get my queen back.

I used to play a LOT in high school, but fell out of it. It' fun re-learning it and seeing new strategies I didn't even think about before, lol. It's fun playing the computer I'm not confident with human opponents again yet.

The computer gets predictable, but it can see into the future better than us. Humans make weird moves that are incomprehensible.
As an aside, chess is one of those things that makes me very aware of my blood sugar. Like, if I haven't eaten enough, I lose. If I have, my brain works.

I get addicted to bullet chess every now and then, but am trying to move towards longer time spans for my gameplay's sake... I'm about 1700-2000 elo on lichess depending on what kind of drugs I've been doing or if I'm just playing tired chess lol.

Competitive things fuck my blood sugar up. I get too into it.
One of the reasons I stopped playing.
I don't like the competitive mindset.

There's no way I could play competitively at this point lol.

You guys play on Chess.com, or do you have a preferred site/community?

I started at chess.com and then moved to https://lichess.org/ because a friend was playing there.
Played 4P chess on chess.com a while longer though. Quite interesting, and I climbed quite high, but then that became competitive as well :laugh:

On lichess I was around 1600 on Bullet and a bit lower on blitz.

Let's see some games!

Lmao - we both blundered so absurdly to get into this hilarious end position... I attribute my win to my usage of different spells in the chat which clearly discombobulated my opponent

It also brought me great success in this game and made my opponent flee as my spirit allies assaulted him from all directions both on the board and his interior space.

I didn't know magic spells were legal in chess. This changes things entirely

That's awesome!

It makes me so happy there's a small chess community on here. I'll definitely jump into some games once I get my chops back up a little more :sunny:.
