It stresses me out. After watching The Queen's Gambit, I've come to appreciate just how complex it can be (different openers, planning 10 moves ahead, replaying games to see where you went wrong, etc.)
i love chess!! i used to play a lot when i was in elementary school as we had a chess club (not very popular, there were like 5 of us ) and afterwards i continued to play a bit of online chess (against bots, albeit) but it never really felt the same as i like to feel the chess pieces in my hands. unfortunately, our old chess board was broken and had to be tossed long ago so i just opted not to play. i haven't played in many many years but hopefully i can buy us a new chess board someday. i adore board games so there are many i want to buy to be able to play with my family
I haven’t played chess in years but I do like it. Am I any good? probably not lol. I definitely would probably prefer a physical chess board and opponent (mainly friends, not randos) as oppose to online chess. Online chess would be good for practicing though.
I've tried to play it, but it was so boring that I couldn't even force myself to. Now, I've forgotten all the rules & hope to never have to play it again.
