Download chess.com on your phone to replace instagram. Buy a chess set at a thrift store (make sure it has all the pieces). Play with your friends. Play against strangers. Play against me! Play everyday!
Not to double post about chess but if you’re going to kill time on your phone, it feels so much more dignified to open the chess app rather than one of the usual suspects (pi.fyi excluded). Good conversation starter too.
Play with your friends even though you live far now
The computer screen connects our logical minds
And there is nothing like a little friendly competition
Just came here to tell everyone I’m playing chess for the millionth time. I play literally everyday now online. I haven’t played a videogame in weeks. I’m challenging everyone I know irl too. I discovered my neighbour plays and I’m going to play a game with her soon. Chess has taken over my life and I’m loving it. Just discovered there’s a chess night as a local cafe too.
