    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

    If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

I need to get a job soon, but there's just about nothing I'm good at. Chess is the only exception—I'm decent at it (2000 rated on lichess (online) and 1350 USCF (over the board))—but I'm not very good at teaching.

I would like to give free lessons out so that I can practice teaching. I can explain how the pieces move, the fundamentals, and basic strategy. I could also play practice games with discussion afterwards.

This would all be done online. Through text is possible, but it may be easier to ask questions over a Discord call. lichess.org is a free chess website with a feature to share custom lessons.

DM me for more details.

Interesting, I'm about 1850 on lichess and 1650 on chess.com. Cool to see another chess enthusiast on here, its taken me about 5years to reach this rank so congrats on the high rating. It's hard to consistently beat people at these ratings and it takes a while usually to find a game on lichess. But I usually play very slow games/never blitz or bullet, I play with my friend where we spend hours playing. Do U like slow games as well?

I mostly play blitz, bullet, and rapid. But I would be happy to play a slow game with you. I started playing in 2021, so about 3 years ago. It is hard to win consistently—I lose about half my games.

My username is USyd_Andro on lichess. I'm probably not up for a game right now but could maybe do 15 + 10mins sometime. 30min is my ideal but my friend and I normally smoke a bit of weed and just love to lose track of time, we normally talk over the internet. U could join our friend group he's 2200 and played for 10 years or so.
