I play Pure Chess sometimes on PS4. Though it has been a while. I don't think I am that great, but I do know how to move the Horsey around.

cool I'll send you an invite

I've also heard good things about lichess and that it's easier competition. Haven't tried it yet either.

I usually do 3 day/per move games, just to make it easier on work schedules and stuff, but I actually prefer shorter more focused games, so let me know, maybe we can play a short game. I have not yet tried blitz, but I am willing to give it a go

Same here, usually do the 3/5 day matches. I'm not as well versed in line theory to win blitz games but they can be fun.

I use chess.com mainly as a learning tool. I haven't played many games recently but do the puzzles almost daily. I'll play but it might take a while to get my game where it used to be, and I was never one to study it. Just played for fun growing up and learned by playing better players.

I watched some of the Magnus Carlsen tournament last week. His games vs Nepo were great.

Today is Dubov vs Nakamura, here's the live link

do you guys know which online platforms are safe for children to play real opponents without exposing them to online elements? I just got my nephew a board and would like to be able to play with him online but my sister is very strict (and rightfully so) about what they are open to online.

Yes, Chess.com has a kids app - https://www.chesskid.com/

Honestly, the use both but my kids rather just use chess.com, and it's very safe for a "game app"

My 10 year old cousin hands me my arse every time we play. He's a little prodigy.

I'm still trying to get good at "Go." It's a hard game.

I played pretty well back in High School. But not "I have a chess ego" well. And it is definitely like a muscle, I could see the obvious difference between when I was playing a lot and when I was doing other things a lot.
