    But they don’t let me near the ten-year-olds any more

      The last time I played chess it was against a ten year old and I got my ass whooped.

      Is there a chess league for babies I could join?

        Still too high level for my chess abilities. Is there an amoeba league?

        I just wanna put on a pair of boots and stomp around in a room full of helpless babies, is that too much to ask?

          You just want to waste food and I’m disappointed in you.

        It’s not about age, eventually magnus will be beaten by a 5 year old.

        Just play a few games online to get your rating settled in and you will quickly start playing against people your skill level. You will likely get stomped a lot early on, but that stops after just a few games with massive elo drops.

          I appreciate the tips, but I’ve long resigned myself to the fact that, like DnD and Warhammer, chess is one of the classic nerd things that I just can’t do.

      I feel like with chess it’s always the kids that absolutely dominate everyone else.

        We just only take note of the weirdos who got an early manual and obsessed over it, not the ones shoving the knights up their nose.
