Yes. I didn't have much chance of winning so I just played the best I could.
Help Shape The Chess Climb
I want to pause for a second and make sure this group is becoming something people actually want to be part of. Right now, this is intentionally small, and that’s a good thing. It means we can shape it together. I’d really appreciate hearing from you: • What kinds of posts are most useful to you? • Would you prefer more discussion, shared game reviews, or something else? • Would you be interested in something like an occasional group game review or live call or not at all? No pressure to answer everything. Even one thought helps. I want this to be a place that actually helps people climb, not just another feed.

I subscribe to an online coaching that offers daily coaching and game analysis. I've learned a lot from it.

I'm in my other coaching call now. After 3 pm I'll join.
Do you plan to play in any over the board tournaments this year?
I know I certainly do. Playing OTB feels like a different game, and it’s a great way to engage with the community and make new chess friends. Have you ever played in a tournament? Do you plan to this year?

I play OTB several times per year. I seem to be adapted to the faster online play. In OTB games, I tend overthink my OTB position and typically make a less than ideal moves on occasion.

Interesting Chess Site
This was used in another chess group I belong to. I haven't tried it out but it seems to be an interesting concept. https://chessvision.ai/

I'm retired and I like to play chess online, but I never seem to improve.
