this is like 98% of the reason why I created this territory. I want to get better at chess and I want to hold myself accountable! Let's play soon! I'm on chess.com user name: needcreations We can stream our match over nostr and our SN friends can cheer us on :)

you should post a link to this in the saloon tomorrow :)
every day 12PM CET, a new saloon shows up on the front page :)
and why not https://jesterui.github.io/ ? it's apparently chess over nostr :)
i never found someone to play with back when i first found it ... must have been 6 months ago.
btw, for some reason, only today I think I really started to internalize how crazy this is:
bitcoiners be like: fuck your money, we're going to build our own money
nostriches be like: fuck your everything else, we're going to build our own everything else
damn, exciting times we live in :)
sometimes, it feels a little too exciting though, lol :)

Chess is a great game. Discovered it myself recently and have been practicing puzzles on Lichess and watching Gotham Chess a lot.

Why do you prefer chessCom over open source lichess?
reply
11 sats \ 2 replies \ @needcreations_ OP 9 Dec 2023
Well I haven't tried lichess yet...just made an account tonight. I'll have to get back to you on which one I prefer. Most of my friends are on chess.com so I started there

Nah, lichess is the standard! Even my father switched from chess.com at some point (CM, used to be TOP20 in my country).
