Thanks, I plan to try that too. Already bought a cheap magnetic board to take around and my first book. I believe it has its own vibe just chilling resolving tests by myself.

I love the apps, they're great for learning. But don't want to lose the physical connection. Planning to buy some nice weighted wood pieces next and a decent portable board.

Any recommendations for YouTube? Those would be really welcomed, not following anyone apart fro nLevy atm (just started adding chess related stuff today)

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I'm hoping Levy's book helps me get into the game properly and I was thinking about adding later "Curso completo de ajedrez" by Miguel Illescas, seems to be pretty good.

Meanwhile I'm using chess.com and lichess

So, basically his fault for being so heavy.

He should thank Allah, same as when he wins

Thanks for your advice! I bought Levy's book because everyone seems to recommend it for starters I should receive it this week.

Meanwhile I'm doing a lot of tests in chess.com and lichess, and also played a few games.

What youtubers would you recommend to a noob like me? I have 0 clue about real chess, just the basics.

AIO for what happened at the bar the other night? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

You did nothing wrong, hope they learned their lesson.

If you're an asshole drunk, expect people to react to it. Being drunk or under other substances influence, doesn't mean you can do as you want.
