      The last time I played chess it was against a ten year old and I got my ass whooped.

      Is there a chess league for babies I could join?

        I just wanna put on a pair of boots and stomp around in a room full of helpless babies, is that too much to ask?

        It’s not about age, eventually magnus will be beaten by a 5 year old.

        Just play a few games online to get your rating settled in and you will quickly start playing against people your skill level. You will likely get stomped a lot early on, but that stops after just a few games with massive elo drops.

          I appreciate the tips, but I’ve long resigned myself to the fact that, like DnD and Warhammer, chess is one of the classic nerd things that I just can’t do.

        We just only take note of the weirdos who got an early manual and obsessed over it, not the ones shoving the knights up their nose.
