Lots of new people interested in chess lately due to Queen's Gambit. I would recommend that to anyone who hasn't watched it yet.

I use to play, you can really go down a rabbit hole analyzing the board and trying to determine your next move. I've watched a bunch of the "Queens Gambit" episodes and if you are familiar with chess you might find it entertaining. I've played single games that lasted 5 hours. I think limiting the time would be best, however I've never used the clock thingy. There use to be a bunch of guys who played at Barnes & Noble in Merritt Island on I think it was Sundays, of course that's a Aldis now.

Fuck yea... Lets set something up... We should meet up on a weekend us all...i just started playing last thksgiving and i love it.... But clock play is a little more fun,since it doesn't last forever, with hopefully other people waiting wanting to play... Im on chess.com as well..."tripletail"... Blast me up....just not into playing mega long drawn out games...sort of...
