Discussion The French Defence

[frightfulcel]

Currently playing chess. It requires a lot of memorization but I think I'm getting somewhat better at it despite how I'm naturally bad at it. I like Bobby Fischer, he seems funny. I don't take chess too seriously though I just play it for fun.

Does anyone else play chess? Or is it a bit cringe lol.

I only play for the aesthetic.

too low iq

too low iq

Idk if chess ability and iq are even that linked, if anything a lower iq might make you play better due to less overthinking. There are studies that show pros use less brain activity than beginners.

i used to, might come back soon. Only technical thing i remember is the scandinavian defence, that defence made me lose a shit ton of games and I never stopped using it. Good memories. I also was once in a chess club, just like Godd

I played when I was 11 years old (I'm sorry I didn't continue with that), I played against a stacy girl of my age at that time and we were drawn.

Does anyone else play chess?

no never. Maybe I should consider it. Yet I don't have the time to learn how to play it anyway
