RE: (Sigh.) Chess Is Rude. (Sigh.)

Perfect! I'm so glad to hear that. 👍
Yeah, I've been obviously feeling pretty inadequate too... and I don't expect to do much winning around this crew here on #Hive. But you know what they say: you improve much quicker when you play with opponents who challenge you. I'm trying to keep it simple and focus on fundamentals.

I've added you on Lichess. My name is the same (thatcryptodave) there and on chess.com. I'll see you in there. Best of luck, and thanks very much for leaving a thoughtful comment! :)
