Most people online seem to favor a practical approach to learning chess, but I tend to prefer something more structured, with a bit of theory, concepts, and explanations. I'd also rather use my physical board instead of an app. I already know how to play chess, but I'd like to give it another good and see if I can achieve a higher level than before, starting from the beginning. Any suggestions?

My old TTRPG group hasn’t met in months now, and listening to actual play podcasts only scratches the itch.
Probably a long shot given the size of the site, but anyone interested in playing a TTRPG sometime soon?
I’m thinking something easy and low pressure, like Stewpot, or Fiasco or maybe a world builder like the Quiet Year/Microscope/Anomaly/The Ground Itself; I have the PDF for most of those.
But hey, if you have something you’ve been waiting forever to play: I’m here for it.
I have literally nothing to do tomorrow so drop a message if you’re interested! I’m in CST

My girlfriend and I have had a habit of going straight to watching movies and tv-series when we hang out, because due to lockdown almost everything is closed, so we don't really have a lot of activities to choose from.
We also play games occassionally, recently scrabble on our phones. But what other boardgames work well when there are only 2 players?
Edit: Wow! I can't possibly respond to everyone but I didn't expect so many people to comment with help. Thank you so much!
