Does anyone else here play chess online?

I try (and fail) to play regularly on lichess under the username dear_sirs. I also have an account under the same name on chess.com.

Feel free to drop usernames in the comments below, or send me a challenge for a correspondence game--I would love to play you!

    Haven't in a long long while and, honestly, I'm quite crap at it. But would love to pick it up (again).

      Feel free to make an account on one of the sites above and shoot me a request. If you want to practice tactics, I recommend chesstempo.

        Thanks. On the computer I usually played against GNU Chess (and usually lost miserably) or through the Free Internet Chess Server (and usually also lost miserably).

      Why not make an account and start a correspondence game with me or someone else? Everyone has to get started somewhere.

    I actually just learned the basic rules of chess less than a week ago. Feel like I should've sooner. My lichess username is Nf4-qmqm

    I casually play on sparkchess.com, probably not as good as others mentioned above but I like the interface.

    I play on lichess occasionally, but mostly I just attempt (and usually fail) at solving problems with their tactics trainer. It's a good way to kill 5-10 minutes when work is slow.
