    @Gaedel and I have been playing over on Chess.com... been pretty fun :D

    Join us! (We do "daily" chess, which is basically play by mail, but the system is great and seamless, there's also mobile apps for it, etc.)

    He's way better than me, I have managed to draw him a couple times, but it's only a matter of time before he pwns my face over and over I think.

    Also, won this game earlier (against a random):

    Attacking is so satisfying :D

    Neat. I used to be a semi-pro in chess when I was 7-11 years old. Fun times.

    I am kind of curious what percentage of the pox community has a chess background. Its been years since I played seriously but took lessons from a Columbian chess master for 6 years and used to be quite good. He taught me chess and spanish and I taught him english (and payed him).

    I like chess. Everyone says I'm good, but I'm not so sure. I mostly wing it each game.

    I sent you an invite to a game I think thats how it works. looks like I got black.
    I used to be good but this is also how I do it except I think ahead a few steps sometimes. I was flying while someone was playing chess on a phone next to me and he failed to checkmate the computer for 5 turns straight. drove me insane.

    I prefer physical pieces though.


    I am Geressen on chess.com

    I used to play Chess, but haven't played in decades. Played in a couple tournaments while I was stationed in the Bay area of CA late 1980s early 1990s. I did play in the Golden Knights Postal Chess Tournament in 1973 when I was a kid. It took over a year to complete a game. I was 1-4-1 and didn't advance from the group. Oh well.
