this is like 98% of the reason why I created this territory. I want to get better at chess and I want to hold myself accountable! Let's play soon! I'm on chess.com user name: needcreations We can stream our match over nostr and our SN friends can cheer us on :)
i never found someone to play with back when i first found it ... must have been 6 months ago.
btw, for some reason, only today I think I really started to internalize how crazy this is:
bitcoiners be like: fuck your money, we're going to build our own money
nostriches be like: fuck your everything else, we're going to build our own everything else
damn, exciting times we live in :)
sometimes, it feels a little too exciting though, lol :)
yes! Once @k00b implements sub territories, I'll make one for beginners, advanced, etc. We can help each other out and share tips, tricks and more! We can play each other and stream over nostr. Chess.com is a great place to play people. My username is needcreations .This is going to be so much fun!
ohh, it looks like you're relatively new to stacker news. People can "zap" others for their posts by sending bitcoin. I "zapped" you 12 sats because I liked your post :)
Mhh, I pushed some changes but there is a bug:
For some reason, the black player does not receive old chat messages when loading the page.
For the white player, it works however.
Well I haven't tried lichess yet...just made an account tonight. I'll have to get back to you on which one I prefer. Most of my friends are on chess.com so I started there
Dude, we need to do a 1v1 sometime :)
Not saying I'm good, only that I want to become good in chess :)

I like lichess it’s open source :D
yes!! that does fit within the Bitcoin ethos :) I'll make an account there right now
It’s beautiful and no ads. You can customize your board exactly how you want 🤙
nice! can you add "friends" - my account is NEEDcreations on Lichess too
Yes you can and private message. It’s a great project:

Check out Agadmator on YouTube for great chess videos :D
Good luck in your games!
thank you!

I also know the basics, it would be good to learn PvP

Just by name do you receive sats?
what do you mean?
https://m.stacker.news/7328 This only appears to me

Thanks now I understand
welcome :)
Try to use https://jesterui.github.io/ :)
It's a great idea, I even tried to contribute a chat feature to it in the past but something blocked me from it, i no longer remember what happened, lol :)
edit: oh, I remember now, lol :)
Chess is a great game. Discovered it myself recently and have been practicing puzzles on Lichess and watching Gotham Chess a lot.
nice! happy to have you here. Excited to grow this community!
I'd be interested in playing a little bit, I'm not that experienced, but I think I can play 1 or 2 games
Why do you prefer chessCom over open source lichess?
Well I haven't tried lichess yet...just made an account tonight. I'll have to get back to you on which one I prefer. Most of my friends are on chess.com so I started there
Nah, lichess is the standard! Even my father switched from chess.com at some point (CM, used to be TOP20 in my country).
cool! Thanks for sharing. Which country?
