Chess is chicken soup for the soul.

I joined this site at the end of 2021 and I've been playing multiple games of chess with random users all around the world every single day since then, and I love it.

I love the game's strategic nature, predicting moves that are one or two steps ahead, the counter attacks, and the general competitive nature of it.

On here there's a vast audience which is interesting because I'll never truly know who I am playing against. Playing chess in anonymity is fun, but it needs to be against a human. Playing against a program doesn't cut it for me because there's an emotional component that is directly tied to this game that both opponents should face. Plus, having a conversation about a dramatic move that turns a game completely upside down is often amusing and sometimes worth discussing.

I'm open to having conversations on here and whenever they go off topic I'll always try and keep them respectable.
