I’m new to playing online. Many years ago I played very actively in U. S. Chess Fed tournaments. I’m 68 years old now. I love the game but have no one locally in NW Washington State to play.

When I was maybe 20 or so I participated in an event where I was on of maybe 20 (don’t remember) players playing George Koltinowski. He was playing blindfold if I remember. He was amazing!

On another note many years ago I was a member of a chess club in Northern Calif. The first time I went I saw an elder player by himself with a chess set all ready to go. He looked so innocent! I thought I’ll easily win against him. Ha! He beat my socks off every dang time we played a game, lol!

Anyway, greetings from NW Washington State!

Chess is a game that can be enjoyed at any age, and it’s wonderful that you’re still passionate about it.
I’m 72 years old and sometimes I play chess using modafinil, it helps me a lot because I love chess, but age takes its toll
