Diogenes Nov 2020 4:50pm, 20 Nov 2020 55,123 posts	0 Diogenes 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.
