Chess Meet

Today I attended the chess meet and had a great time. I have been watching The Queen’s Gambit on Fridays with others in Rose House and I play chess a lot on my own so the meet was right up my alley. I have been playing people on my floor mostly so it was a lot of fun to play with other people. I particularly liked how if my game finished earlier than others I could spectate other matches. I normally play untimed games or ten-minute matches so the five-minute format was a pretty big change but it definitely was an equalizer across the board (pun intended).

One thought on “Chess Meet

  1. I agree! The chess meet was a lot of fun. And the timed matches really threw me in for a loop as I also do not normally play timed games. I felt my strategy changed a lot with the timed games, I felt like all I had to do was survive long enough so that they other person ran out of time while also trying to get the other person in checkmate.
