Little experiment. Hoping to post puzzles, chess news, adult improver advice here and get a bit of a chess community active here on SN.

what's everyone's chess rating? (maybe we can do this in a separate thread)

reply

Mine's around 1600 Lichess rapid. My problem is I learned the game in middle age and I'm very slow.

~850 chess.com 🤣 playing mostly off and on for about a year

reply

Good progress I'd say. Did you watch through Chessbrah Habits' series? That got me past 1000 when I played on chesscom.

reply

Aaah, I post about this all the time... also working towards 1400 in Freestyle

always chess om; don't like lichess

1741 chesscom blitz is no joke. Respect.

I can't recall this territory before... or maybe I just never posted about chess on SN?... when was it a thing?

Useful angle on “Resurrecting the chess territory”: if you’re measuring this in sats, track both on-chain confirmation risk and LN liquidity separately — conflating them hides where value actually settles. Happy to dig into a concrete metric if useful.
