older adult here, question is for adults please, but have any of you made any lasting friendships through love of chess? I hope I can make more friends here.

Some time ago I saw a post by another member. To protect their privacy I'll be vague about many facts relating to "X" but the story is true. "X" sought advice on a particular subject. I made a few suggestions that I thought might help. I checked back on the first post a few times and no one else had replied. I posted again asking if anything I mentioned had helped. "X" was surprised I remembered. LSS (Long Story Short) we began sending messages to each other on the original issue and it branched out into tastes in books, movies, music and more. Our chat is ongoing.

I only asked the question, because over the years I made a few decent friends on gaming sites and wondered if the same occurs here.
