I’m Whos2move on [chess.com](http://chess.com) If you send me an email I’ll invite you to a game, or you can sign up on your own. I’m an amateur player, so ability is not a factor. ---

I used to be in a Chess club, my book opening is the Colle, I played in U600 and U900, I got second place at a tournament back in 2016. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/e/7/9e7264f46c30cab24352a9a71f07055a1145e36b.jpeg) ---

It doesn’t matter. Best way to get better is have a few daily games going. ---

I keep my board on the table, my wife and I just make a move every once in a while. Our games probably last 3-4 days. Used to be in chess club in HS, but I’m sure my lack of practice would show. ---

I love the game (I also love shogi and go). But I’m not very good at any of them, mostly because I am terrible at calculating and don’t have the patience for it. I also don’t have an intuitive grasp of on-board “situational awareness” even though I understand the essential strategic principles of play. ---

yeah, it was my coach’s decision which one I entered, I wasn’t _that_ good so I didn’t ever go into over 1000+ rating games, also my USCF expired so I lost my rating. ---

I only liked to play blitz games and didn’t care for reading on tactics and strategy too much so I didn’t get much of a chance to improve either. ---

I enjoy chess, but I’m terrible. And I find myself growing impatient with how long games can take. My favorite is Backgammon. No doubt it’s not as mentally challenging as chess, but there’s still a ton of thinking and strategy involved. It’s the perfect mix of fast pace and intellectually stimulating in my opinion ---

I play around 20 games are more, but each has 7 days to make a move, so there are only a dozen boards to play one move at a time. You can take your time. ---

I’m not a serious player, but I do have fun playing my older brother in LA and my son away at university via text.
