Same here. Getting familiar with how to move pieces around the board, but enjoying learning.
I also started learning how to play during the pandemic. Its true what they say in Hidden Colors about chess. It does wirk both sides of the brain. Feel like I think clearer after I play. I also agree with you that the biggest hurdle is learning all the movements and limits of each piece. Once you have that I would say cultivating a good defensive strategy is extremely important. I got my skills up by downloading the chess app on my phone playing against the computer. Definitely a lifelong game you can always work on or come back to with a new mindset.

    Same here. There is an increased focus and a certain "stillness" of the mind that I get after playing.


    I downloaded the chess app onto my phone. Chess Titans is a good one, so is chess.com.
    Good to know, thanks! ✊🏽
