I'm glad to participate in my first ever Hivechess Tournament thanks to @stayoutoftherz who's organizing it.
I usually play with random people in lichess and I never participated in a tournament in my life. Despite playing chess almost every day for years.
I learned it from a friend. And I never watched videos, or read books about it. I like to improve by experience. Sometimes it's a hard way to learn, but I enjoy it. There are people I can never win. There are people can never win me. And I enjoy meeting someone like me, when I sometimes lose, and win sometimes. That make it more interesting to keep playing with the same person.
