AloneIBreak 11/14/21 8:08:24 PM #1:	I've been kind of bored lately, so I'm thinking of taking up chess. I played a little when I was a kid with my stepdad, but I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to strategy.

whitelytning 11/14/21 8:25:38 PM #3:	I do. Im not any good but picked it up as a hobby a few years ago and have steadily progressed. Be ready to be frustrated. The more you get into it the more you realize how much you suck. You also have to accept that you are going to lose a ton because if you are competitive, like me, losing sucks and can make you crazy if you cant accept that it will happen. A lot. --- ************************************************ https://imgur.com/iZdWIKJ <cite>whitelytning posted [p:960004780] in Does anyon... [t:79759972]...</cite> <quote>I do.

Lichess has a some free tutorials/lessons/puzzles: https://lichess.org/practice If you make an account on Chess.com or Lichess and play a few matches, it will eventually be easier to find similarly-rated players that you can challenge.
