Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

On his blog the other day Fetch was talking about being inspired to start playing chess again after watching The Queen’s Gambit. There were plenty of me-too’s, including mine, so I thought I’d start a thread for it.

I’m rubbish, so I’m hoping to aim it at beginners and improvers, but all welcome.

I’m practicing on the chess.com app and other people are on Chess With Friends -I can add ID’s to the sidebar.

This was the analysis of my latest game which shows how inept I am.

On Chess with Friends I am Ian1271 :-) I am trying to avoid bots, so if you challenge me to a game, drop me a comment too, so I know which Fetchie you are.

Mmm, non-descript fish :-)

Jules - what’s your approx ranking? I am managing to beat the chess.com bot when it’s set to 1300 - but real players seem to be more of an unknown:-)

I started lockdown about that level, but probably in inverse proportion to my run volume, I’m now about 1700
