I'm not a good chess player, but I do have an account on lichess and also on chess.com I believe.

I play against human opponents maybe once a year, so I'm out of practice, but I thought it might be fun to do so more.

So.. anyone up for a match?

Cool! Where are we playing? I think I'm toretorden on both lichess and chess.com :)

And ofc I wouldn't cheat. My plan is to lose.. and then winning becomes more of a somewhat pleasant surprise :D

Great, think I accepted and then everything disappeared, so I assume you play white  :P

Years ago, I occasionally just did quick games against the computer and then I think lichess was just a slightly quicker and nicer experience overall. Chess.com feels a bit older? But there's not really much difference from what I can tell.

Who's to move?

My fried brain can only handle one game at a time.
Let's do this like bar pool.
Winner plays the next challenger in line.

Put your quarters on the rail!

I've accepted it! I can do one 1 day game, but usually I do 7 days/move because I like to take my sweet ass time!  :P
