If we ran some kind of community call for everyone to hang out, do puzzles, play games, basically anything... would you show up? I may or may not be there personally, the main purpose would be to provide a place for members to interact on a closer level and make it easier to connect. (kinda like how discord has the voice chat feature) I'm thinking a weekly zoom meeting where anyone can join... We could alternate the times each week for people in different timezones too. If we set up something like this, would you be there?

I got back over 1700 lichess with a brilliant queen sacrifice. Honestly I thought I had 2 but the engine doesn't understand hahaha. Great feeling

Anybody available for quick game. I'm available for next 30 mins.

We just hit 2000 members (again!) It's not really about the numbers though, it's about the quality of people here. This group is full of great, supportive players and I haven’t seen many other communities with the same positive atmosphere. Love being a part of this 🔥 P.S. Just a quick heads up — the price for our XLR8 program is going up on September 1st, so if you were on the fence now is the best time to jump in. Click here to lock in your spot now!

We got a pretty positive response when I announced this change, which I was glad to see. It took me over 2 hours, but I got it done. And we are now down from 2000+ to 860 members. So if you're still here, congratulations - you've made it past the first culling phase. But there are still a bunch more inactive members that I still have to remove. Going forward I will also: - be more selective with who I let into the group - continue to kick inactive members regularly This is all part of my effort to raise the standard of this group and make it higher quality. I want to build a community that you'd like to live in. Kicking out 1000+ members wasn't fun, but the goal is to make this group a better place, especially for the committed players that are here. Thanks for your support! P.S. If you still haven't interacted in the group at all in the past month, there's a high chance you will get removed soon. So if you want to keep your spot here, go comment/post something if you haven't already.
