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.

Would love to attend live zoom or meet calls to analyze positions together or learn or teach stuff. I was thinking of saying that we should do it but now you've mentioned it

Daily puzzle 😝. Solved it in 2 seconds when it came out
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?

Very good question. I usually play 1 OTB tournament each month, I am from Pakistan, we don't have much high rated players, chess is not famous here but fide rated tournaments do happen about 2 times a month atleast and I try to attend atleast one as it happens in city I am in. I played a 30 | 30 classical tournament this weekend which went pretty good, I won 3 games and drew 1 out of 6 total games. I was proud because opponents were no noobs. They were all 1600+ on chess.com and some even 1600 in fide. I also wrote notations from which I would like to show a game below, I played as black, opponent offered draw after queen and 1 rook trade but I refused and won. https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/pgn/3qFuFiTwYJ/analysis?move=2
What is your least favorite opening to play against?
Personally, it’s the French defense for me. I don’t play well against it.

I only use chess.com. I tried lichess once but it wasn't showing my true elo, it kinda exaggerated it. Lichess is obviously good for free, but overall chess.com is better. (My opinion)
