Thanks for those good games all. Was a fun way to spend time with a couple weeks off work.
Anything we want to discuss? The chess.com chat is a bit awkward.
More daily games or should we do another tournament?

I'd be down for another tournament, for sure. Been a while.

I’d play a tournament again also, and maybe I’ve improved and can offer more than the last time.

This thread is motivating me to get back into chess. I haven’t touched a piece in many years.

I started a new tournament. Not sure if it is exactly the same rules as before.
1 day to move, pools of 4, top 2 move onto the next round.
Starts Thursday.

Sorry. I'm fumbling in the dark. I'm actually a luddite.

I must be inept, as I can’t find the tournament. This probably doesn’t bode well for my performance in this tournament either!

I joined so we have 8, but maybe we can convince 4 more lurkers to throw their hat in the ring?

I joined though I mostly play as a guest.
Used to mostly play London/Jobava and caro kann. Now I switched to KIA, KID, the french, and Stonewall. I'm still trying to get a better grasp of how to play the positions.

Not that I am any good. But when I am trying to learn a new opening I like to play lots of blitz games so I can see many repetitions.

I found practicing the certain openings under the "learn" section was quite helpful. Gives you immediate feedback and you can turn up or down the strength of the computer to give you a fair fight. Not sure if you need a membership for that though? Probably.
