Chess. I think it's saved my mental health over the last year.

How did you get into playing?

[-] OxidantZero@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

It was on holiday. There was a set at the place we were staying and the kids wanted to know how to play. I knew how the pieces moved, but not a lot else. I started to look up "chess strategies" and things, thinking I might find a few tips. Instead I found an addiction!

2 years later of daily studying and I've finally made it to "beginner" level.
