How can I get back into chess?

I've recently gotten bored at regular and competitive chess, and I've gotten worse as a result. How can I get back into the game and get better?

you just do

Don't play if you're not enjoying it

Looking to seriously improve but want a beginner-friendly place to do it?

I just created a new club called UNDER 1200 IMPROVERS — a chill improvement-focused group for players rated under 1200 who want structure, events, and a supportive community.

We offer:

♟️ Weekly Puzzle Rush Challenge (every Monday)

♟️ Beginner-friendly arenas

♟️ Monthly improvement goals

♟️ No negativity, no ego — just learning

♟️ Free resources, study threads, and advice

If you want a place to improve alongside other players your level, join here:

Everyone under 1200 is welcome!

Maybe it's just not your game. It's like an atheist saying "How can I get back into religion?" You either feel the calling or you don't.

Perhaps you should try Pickleball. It's very popular these days, and doesn't require much thinking. Might be just what you're looking for!

Btw if anyone is wondering I am finding my way back into chess by learning theory and playing with friends

thats a bumer
