What openings should I learn for white and black? What YT vids are good for learning? What chess.com features are good?  Is LiChess a better platform for free learning? Is Chessable any good?

Hey, I've been a chess fan in the upstate area for a long time, im specifically closer to syracuse/oswego, but am often out by auburn and Ithaca too. Are there any active players or events that happen anymore? I'd love to find a place to play over the board, or at the very least start playing online with people here so that something can be set up in the future. Either way I'd love to find more players in the area!

Does anyone remember the tourneys put on by Joe Ball in Syracuse? The location changed from time to time but I remember going to a hotel to play off Carrier Circle? This was a monthly tourney... and I am talking... 90's... and maybe 80's.... not sure when they ended...
Even during this Pandemic, I been looking for something in the Otsego and Delaware county area. Any idea's?

Does anyone know of any chess group that meets in or near Oswego? I'm interested in playing some over-the-board games in the Oswego area.

I am interested in trying a Team Match or Vote Chess. I believe you need to be a group admin to initiate these, but it appears the admins for this group have not logged in for quite a while. Anyone else out there interested?
